Warwick - I Was Framed! Feb
26, 2003 - Dionne Warwick says she was framed! Warwick says the pot found in her
luggage at the Miami airport last year was planted adding she doesn't take drugs.
Airport officials found some joints in her lipstick container when her bags were
checked. Warwick thinks another passenger pulled a quick switch saying, "Apparently,
somebody that didn't want to get caught thought it would be better off in somebody
else's bag." Charges against Warwick were dropped after she agreed to a plea
bargain.
