Comedian Kenan Thompson has been fined for careless driving after he was pulled over by New Jersey police on Wednesday evening.

The sports utility vehicle (SUV) the Saturday Night Live show regular and his friend Kyle Mosley were traveling in was stopped by cops at around 6pm in Bernards Township, after a concerned local called the authorities about the star's erratic driving.

When cops approached the car, they noticed the smell of marijuana and questioned the pair about the drug. Mosley confessed the marijuana was his and handed over his small stash to officers.

Thompson escaped with a fine for the incident, while his pal was charged with possession of marijuana and rolling papers, reports The Smoking Gun.
