Don't brings drugs to a prison gig

PENDLETON, Ore. (AP) - April 28, 2010

A Portland band was set to do a concert at an Eastern Oregon prison.

But the show was canceled when a guard discovered pot in a guitar string bag.

The Alexa Wiley Band was scheduled to perform for inmates over the weekend.

Prison spokeswoman Vicki Reynolds says the marijuana was found during a mandatory inspection of the band's equipment.

A local paper reports state troopers confiscated the pot and detained the guitarist.

But he was later allowed to leave the prison.
