Amazingly, Keith Richards‘ 1972 arrest wasn’t for anything drug-related. He and Rolling Stones bandmate Mick Jagger were both arrested following a fight with a photographer in Rhode Island.
We’re not sure what the scuffle was about, but if Richards was trying not to have his picture taken, he obviously missed out on that goal, plus, he had to go to a police station to do so.
Mick Jagger
This Jagger mug shot comes from a 1967 drug raid on Richards’ house, which resulted in the singer spending a few nights in jail before making bail. We’ll see more of the Stones later on this list.
Jim Morrison
Jim Morrison of the Doors allegedly shared a bit too much with the audience of a March 1969 Miami, Fla. concert audience, allegedly revealing his private parts to the crowd during the show.
He was convicted the following year for indecent exposure and profanity, but he and his bandmates always strongly denied any wrongdoing, and in 2010 the state of Florida pardoned him.
Steven Tyler
We’ve all made mistakes during those difficult teenage years, right? So maybe it’s fairly easy to forgive Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler for being busted for marijuana possession at age 18.
Of course, since that 1967 incident Tyler’s had a few more battles with substance abuse, but he seems to emerge stronger and wiser each time.
Jimi Hendrix
Guitar legend Jimi Hendrix was arrested at the Toronto, ONT airport in May of 1969 for possession of heroin and hashish. Which is weird, because who thinks of mind-expanding drugs when they listen to his music?
Luckily, Canadian official believed Jimi’s story, that a well-meaning fan had slipped the junk into his luggage as a present, and Hendrix was cleared of all charges.
Janis Joplin
Less than a year before her untimely death, Janis Joplin was arrested in Tampa, Fla. on Nov. 17, 1969 for disorderly conduct as a result of her behavior at a concert the evening before.
The singer apparently had a bunch of less-than-flattering things to say about the local police force from the stage of the concert. However, the charges were eventually overturned, with a judge ruling her statements fell under the realm of free speech.
David Bowie
David Bowie, Iggy Pop and two female friends were busted for felony possession of half a pound of marijuana back in March of 1976 at the Americana Hotel in Rochester, N.Y., following a nearby concert. Bowie was held in the Monroe County jail for a few hours before being freed on bail — but this swanky mug shot wasn’t taken until he returned a few days later to face arraignment. The four ended up skating on all charges.
Glenn Frey
Eagles legend Glenn Frey was probably just chasing a peaceful, easy feeling in Columbus, Ohio back in May of 1973, but instead he got arrested for drug possession and public intoxication.
Do you think its possible the cops were looking for his frequent bandmate and former extreme prankster Joe Walsh instead?
