Dawn Wells - aka Mary Ann of Gilligan's Island - is serving six months of unsupervised probation for allegedly having marijuana in her car.

The former Islander, now 69, had her sentencing Feb. 29, which included five days in jail, a fine of $410.50 and probation. She pleaded guilty to one count of reckless driving, but, under a plea deal, three misdemeanor counts were dropped.

Wells was found with the drugs when she was stopped for erratic driving in October. There are several different accounts, however, of how the pot and paraphernalia ended up in her vehicle, starting with Wells' assertion that she'd picked up some hitchhikers who left it behind. They were, perhaps, on a three-hour tour, which Wells should know has its hazards. - Anna Dimond
