Washington-based CBS Radio News correspondent Howard Arenstein and his wife, Orly Azoulay, Washington correspondent for Israeli newspaper Yedioth Abronoth, were charged with possession with intent to distribute marijuana after police raided their home Saturday, according to accounts in The Washington Post and The Chicago Tribune.


Police allegedly retrieved 11 mature marijuana plants, each of which authorities claim equal one pound of marijuana, and six bags of marijuna from the couple's home. Arenstein has overseen major stories during his CBS tenure, including the DC sniper shootings, the September 11, 2001 hijackings and the 2000 presidential campaign.  The CBS eye is a little redder this morning.
