The puffy cheeked jazz wonder was arrested in 1931 for marijuana possession but the charge was later suspended. Isn’t lung power kind of important in that whole trumpet playing thing? Oh you’re right. I doubt he was inhaling.&The singer found himself in a few run-ins with the law over the years and was no stranger to prison but it wasn’t anything related to drugs. Armed robbery, underage prostitutes and some tax evasion. You know. The usual rock n’ roll stuff. 1990- his house was raided because authorities heard he was dealing cocaine. They confiscated marijuana and hashish and pornographic videotapes and films but charges against him were later dropped. Just for fun – go find and download “My Ding-a-ling.” Just try and not to sing a long.&The singer with the ever-changing persona was arrested in 1976 for marijuana possession and had about half a pound on him. The maximum sentence he would have received was 15 years but the charges were later dropped and Bowie continued doing his thing. Good thing since his heavy cocaine use through the years brought out quite an interesting side of the artist. Ziggy Stardust anyone?&The name is synonymous with a cape and big hair. His presentation was sometimes more exciting than the music itself and that excitement carried over to other parts of his life. 1988-part of a high-speed car chase along the Georgia-South Caroline border that ended in his conviction of carrying an unlicensed pistol, assaulting a police officer, and other drug-related and driving offenses. He served 3 years of a six year sentence. 1998- arrested on charges of marijuana possession and unlawful use of a firearm- came one week after leaving the hospital to get treated for a painkiller addiction. His last words before he died in 2006 were “I’m hopping on the night train.”&She started out as a child prodigy in tennis then decided to shoplift and smoke weed in a moment of teen angst. 1994- arrested on marijuana possession. She came back to be a kick butt tennis star even though her age is starting to be a problem now. (I definitely need to get a job where my peak working time is over after 30!) People seemed to forget about the weed and shoplifting and love her all over again when she made her comeback. See Winona Ryder, there’s hope for you after all.&Baseball Player. 1975- after retirement, got arrested while picking up a marijuana shipment in San Juan airport. Ouch. If it’s labeled as a “shipment,” it couldn’t have been a few ounces. He was sentenced to 5 years imprisonment but served 10 months. Really, if you round up, carry the 1 add 3, you get 5 years. It makes sense. He was on probation the rest of the time and was cool until 2007 when he was arrested for having a “usable amount” of marijuana.&The legendary musician was arrested in 1958 and 1961 for heroin possession and in 1964 was arrested for heroin and marijuana possession at the Boston airport. 1965-arrested for heroin possession after being addicted for almost 20 years. He avoided jail by getting clean at a clinic in Los Angeles and spent a year on parole.&With his gritty voice and interesting moves on stage, Cocker is an icon of his time. His style is quite unique and John Belushi used to do a close to perfect imitation of him on “Saturday Night Live.” In 1972, Cocker and six of his entourage were arrested for marijuana possession in Australia and kindly asked to leave the country. This caused an uproar with the Aussie Cocker fans and sparked much debate over the topic of the legalization of marijuana. As far as I know, Australia is still weed-free but good job Joe Cocker in almost causing it to be legal.&The actor who shared the screen with Marilyn Monroe in “Some Like it Hot” found himself in hot water in 1970 when he was arrested for marijuana possession at the Heathrow airport.&Gilligan from “Gilligan’s Island”(why didn’t they just build a boat?) found himself in a bit of a pickle in 1998 when he was arrested for having a parcel of marijuana delivered to his house. At the time, he thought he was in an episode of the show and said that “Mary Ann”(Dawn Wells) sent him the package. He must have realized what he was doing because he refused to name her in court and said “some crazy fan must have sent it.” More marijuana and other paraphernalia was found in his house and he pleaded no contest to the charges earning him six month’s probation.&1976- a raid on the singer’s house produced less than an ounce of marijuana. the arrest was expunged from his record when Diamond agreed to attend a six-month drug aversion program. “OK class. Pick up your “pot” -which we all know is really oregano- and let’s roll up our doobies. See, that wasn’t as exciting was it. Let’s not do the real thing either. Class dismissed.”&The former Vice President’s son was found with a partial marijuana cigarette and a baggie with more weed in 2003. The younger Gore entered a substance-abuse program that included 12 weeks of urine testing, community service and substance-abuse counseling. In 2007, more marijuana was found in a traffic stop.&Don’t worry all the Beatles made the list. This Beatle was arrested along with his soon-to-be wife on his wedding day in 1969 on marijuana possession charges. No word as to whether or not the arresting officers made it into the wedding album.&2000-marijuana was found in her and her husband, Bobby Brown’s bag at an airport in Hawaii. The couple left before the authorities got there. She pleaded no contest and had to pay a few thousand dollars to a youth-orientated anti-drug program in place of community service. She also went to rehab in 2004 and 2005.&The “Rolling Stone” was arrested in 1967 and 1970 for marijuana possession but neither resulted in jail time. Just a side note: these guys have gone on tour 40 times since 1963! &The rapper known for her outfits, or lack of outfits really, was arrested for marijuana possession after a raid at Notorious B.I.G.’s house in 1996. She also went to jail in 2005 for perjury charges. Hopefully she’s now found a stylist that buys the WHOLE outfit and not just part of it.&1996-arrested for possession of a small amount of marijuana and a loaded hand gun. The result was a fine and two year’s probabtion.&1968- arrested with his wife Yoko Ono for marijuana possession. The charge nearly cost him the right to live in the U.S.&Man, I was surprised when I saw his name on the list. No, not really. Although he did only get arrested once in 1977 for marijuana possession so he must have hid it in his drugs after that.&Paul McCartney’s missus was arrested in 1975 for marijuana possession but charges were later dropped. In 1984, her and Paul were arrested in Barbados for having marijuana and were fined $100 each. They flew to the Heathrow Airport and she was arrested again for possession. She later said that hard drugs were disgusting but marijuana is “pretty lightweight.”&1980- Arrested going through customs in Japan when 7.7 ounces of marijuana was found in his luggage. He had previously been denied a visa to the country after two convictions of drug possession in Europe and if he had been tried and convicted, he would have spent 7 years in prison. He was released and deported after 10 days in jail and told he wouldn’t be welcome in the country again. He played a concert there 10 years later so I guess they changed their minds.&February 2006- arrested for marijuana possession and was cautioned by the police before being released. October 2006- arrested when found semi-conscious in his car and in the possession of marijuana. He was released on bail and pled guilty to driving under the influence of drugs. He was banned from driving for two years and had to do community service.&1970- While he was attending Regis University, he dropped out after being arrested at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport for trying to smuggle nearly 9 pounds of marijuana.&2006-Arrested and released for 1.5 pounds of pot and a bag of mushrooms found at a traffic stop. He entered a guilty plea and was fined $1,024 and placed on probation for six months. The long-haired crooner has always been outspoken in his stance for the legalization of marijuana.&When the actor was 16, he was arrested for marijuana possession on his mother’s birthday. His parents bailed him out and his dad took him directly to church. The charges were dismissed and coincidentally the judge was a friend of the family.&The director was arrested and pleaded guilty in 1999 to drug possession and no contest to driving under the influence. His punishment was to go to rehab. In 2005, he was arrested in possession of a small amount of marijuana.&The singer was held at the Miami International Airport in 2002 after a case containing 11 marijuana cigarettes was found in her carry on bag. Warwich was unsure how the marijuana got in her bag (listen to those annoying announcements at the airport and watch your luggage Dionne!) and the charges were dropped when she agreed to perform a series of public service announcements regarding illegal drugs.&selon le sitehttp://www.popcrunch.com/busted-100-celebrities-arrested-for-drug-possession:consulter cette adresse pour autre info...
