Tommy Chong, who played one half of the dope-smoking duo in the Cheech and Chong movies, asked for leniency from a judge Thursday but was sentenced to nine months in prison for conspiring to sell drug paraphernalia.
Chong's attorneys argued for no jail time, saying the actor and comedian would use his celebrity to become a role model against drugs and would dedicate his life to public service.
The 65-year-old apologized to the court and his family, saying he "got carried away" with his movie character.
More in link. When I first read the headline, I thought that Chong was selling *bombs*. Wouldn't it be wild if he was a terrorist?
