Associated Press: Houston Not Expected at Drug Hearing KAILUA-KONA, Hawaii (AP) - Prosecutors say they don't expect Whitney Houston to attend a hearing on a marijuana-possession charge against her, but an attorney will appear on her behalf. The arraignment was set for Thursday, but was pushed back to Nov. 2. If convicted of possessing marijuana, the pop star would face up to 30 days in jail and a $1,000 fine. Houston's handbag was seized by a security guard at Keahole-Kona International Airport after a routine search on Jan. 11. Police reported the bag contained half an ounce of marijuana. Houston and her husband, singer Bobby Brown, boarded a flight to San Francisco before police arrived. Houston, 37, has won six Grammy awards. Her best-known hit is ``I Will Always Love You.''
