Actress Dawn Wells, who played the character Mary Ann on Gilligan’s Island, was caught with marijuana in her car, the AP reports.

Wells, 69, is serving six months of unsupervised probation, according to the AP.

On October 18, Wells was pulled over because she was driving erratically in Teton County, Idaho. When asked by a sheriff’s deputy about the smell of marijuana, she said she just dropped off three hitchhikers who had been smoking.

Four half-smoked joints and two cases used to keep the drug were found, the AP reported. Her attorney said Wells was unaware that marijuana was in her car.

On February 29, she was sentenced to five days in jail and fined $410.50. She plead guilty to one count of reckless driving and three misdemeanor counts – driving under the influence, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession.
