Porn star Kendra Sunderland, widely known as ‘Library Girl’, was arrested earlier this month in Montgomery County, Texas, for felony possession of a controlled substance – specifically, marijuana.
I’m a Stoner, Not a Criminal
The arrest, which took place on August 1, highlights the stark contrast between cannabis laws in different states across the United States.
According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, Sunderland was found in possession of less than one gram of THC, the psychoactive compound in marijuana.
While details surrounding the circumstances of her arrest remain unclear, the charges brought against her were due to Texas’ strict stance on marijuana.
Sunderland, 29, lives in Nevada, where marijuana laws are much more lenient. In Nevada, adults aged 21 and older are legally permitted to possess up to 2.5 ounces of cannabis within private residences or licensed social use lounges. However, in Texas, marijuana possession remains illegal, with harsh penalties even for small amounts.
Following her arrest, Sunderland was released from custody after posting a $1,000 bond. She is scheduled to appear in Conroe County courthouse next month to address the charges.
In a brief statement to TMZ, Sunderland said: “I’ve been advised not to say anything. I’m not trying to incriminate myself any further. I just know that I’m not a criminal. I’m just a stoner.”
