David Bowie

In March 1976, David Bowie was arrested in Rochester, New York, on a felony marijuana possession charge. The rock star—then performing as his enigmatic “Thin White Duke” persona—was taken into custody along with fellow musician Iggy Pop and two others at a hotel following a concert. Though Bowie spent only a few hours in the Monroe County Jail before being released, the arrest made headlines. The charges were later dropped due to lack of evidence, but the mug shot remains one of the most iconic in rock history.
