Who is coming, however, is hysterical comedian Ron White (Tater’ Salad). Did you know Ron White got arrested one year ago for possession of marijuana on a private plane? He got busted because of an J.D. Drew is coming off a torrid August in which he hit .329 with 6 HRs and 13 RBIs.anonymous tip to police he had cheeba (he was found with less than three grams).
