Tommy Chong going to Federal prison

(1/2) > >>

mrtonguetwista:
Actor Tommy Chong -- part of the famed Cheech and Chong comedy team -- was sentenced in Pittsburgh Thursday to nine months in federal prison and fined $20,000 for selling bongs and other drug paraphernalia over the Internet.

Chong, 65, will be told in a few weeks where he'll have to report to prison.

Chong -- who starred with comedy partner Cheech Marin in the marijuana-themed cult film classics "Up in Smoke" and "Still Smokin'" -- pleaded guilty to conspiring to sell drug paraphernalia and pleaded guilty on behalf of his company, Nice Dreams Enterprises.  

The company will learn of its sentence later Thursday.

There's no word on how this will affect Chong's reunion with Marin. The two reportedly have been writing a script for a movie.

Chong also appeared on the television show "That '70s Show" from 1999 through 2002. According to the Internet Movie Database, he is currently in production with several family members on the film "Best Buds."
