'Gilligan' actor arrested on pot charge

PRINCETON, W.Va. - Bob Denver, who played the title character on
Gilligan's Island, was arrested Thursday after a package of marijuana
was delivered to his home.

Denver was charged with marijuana possession and released on $1,000
bond.He appeared briefly in court for arraignment.

West Virginia authorities were notified earlier this week by Pueblo,
Colo., police that a package containing marijuana was sent there by a
delivery service and addressed to Denver at his Princeton home, said
Lt.Bruce McNeill.

After an officer delivered the package Wednesday night, a drug task
force executed a search warrant. Inside Denver's home, police found
about 10 grams of marijuana and drug paraphernalia, McNeill said.

In all, police recovered about an ounce and a half of marijuana from
the package and Denver's home, he said.

''He was very apologetic over the incident and remorseful,'' McNeill
said. Denver, 63, could face up to six months in jail and a $1,000
fine on the misdemeanor.

John Ercul, deputy chief of police in Pueblo, wouldn't say Thursday
how investigators there knew what was inside the package.

A man who answered the phone Thursday at Denver's home said Denver had
no comment. Denver moved to West Virginia with his wife, Dreama, seven
years ago and they settled in her hometown of Princeton.

Denver starred in Gilligan's Island from 1964 through 1967. He played
the beatnik best friend Maynard G. Krebs on The Many Loves of Dobie
Gillis from 1959 to 1963.
