Singer Jimmy Buffett was detained by French customs officers earlier this week, after they reportedly found 100 ecstasy tablets in his luggage.
The Grammy winner arrived at Toulon-Hyeres International Airport in the south of France in a private jet on his way to holiday in St Tropez when the discovery was made.
Buffett was fined $380 and was released without charge, according to PageSix.com.
But a spokesperson for the singer insists the tablets were prescribed medication rather than ecstasy: "It was medicine prescribed by his doctor."
But the representative refuses to divulge the nature of the medication or any medical conditions the 59-year-old may be suffering from.
