*Montel Williams was caught with weed in his bag at an airport in Germany, but avoided arrest after providing proof that he had a prescription for medicinal use.

According to TMZ, German law bans folks from flying with marijuana without proof of a doctor’s prescription. A rep for the talk show host says he and his wife were traveling through the Frankfurt airport early Friday (July 29) and got stopped by customs agents after the drug was discovered in his carry-on.

Detained for questioning, Williams explained that he uses pot to help treat his Multiple Sclerosis and called his team back in the U.S. to send over proof of his prescription.

Williams’ rep Jon Franks says once Montel presented the proof, German authorities let him go. The whole ordeal lasted less than an hour.

“Unfortunately this is the reality faced by medical marijuana patients every day all over the world,” Franks said. “Today, Montel reaffirms his commitment to fighting for sensible medical marijuana policies across the world and to fighting the stigma he and so many other seriously ill Americans face every day for simply following the advice of their doctor.”
