In this blog mug shots of extremely dangerous criminals, well not really. They are actually pictures of celebrities after they were arrested for relatively minor offences. Some I expected but others were a surprise to me like the mug shot above of Larry King arrested in Miami, Florida on charges of grand larceny after stealing $5,000 from a business partner. December 20, 1971.
Bill Gates
Arrested for driving without a license and failing to stop at a stop sign. December 13, 1977.
Steve McQueen
Arrested for arrest for drunk driving and speeding on in Anchorage, Alaska. June 22, 1972.
Jimi Hendrix
Arrested for narcotics possession at Toronto International Airport. May 3, 1969.
Jane Fonda
Arrested for drug smuggling and kicking a policeman during the scuffle at an airport in Cleveland, Ohio. November 3, 1970.
However, the actress/antiwar activist was only carrying vitamins, not illegal drugs, and insists that she was targeted by the Nixon White House because of her anti-establishment political convictions.
