Bret Michaels ran into trouble with the law Wednesday night in DeKalb County, Ind., when police found marijuana and other drugs on the rocker's two tour buses.  

 

According to the Fort-Wayne News-Sentinel, Michaels and his crew were pulled over for a "lighting violation" by a DeKalb County Sheriff's deputy on Interstate 69. Police had K9s search the tour buses and turned up marijuana as well as an unidentified controlled substance. Citations were handed out before the buses were allowed to proceed towards their destination.
