A surprise birthday party for Dawn Wells, the actress who played Mary Ann on “Gilligan’s Island,” ended with a trip to jail when the 69-year-old was caught with marijuana in her vehicle.

She was pulled over after she was observed swerving along the highway. The officer who stopped her said he smelled marijuana. Wells told him that she just gave a ride to three hitchhikers and had dropped them off when they began smoking something.

Police found four half-smoked joints in the ashtray and two small cases used to store marijuana.

Wells is now serving six months probation and was fined $410.50.
