Guitar icon Jimi Hendrix was arrested in May 1969 at Toronto International Airport after Canadian customs agents discovered heroin and hashish in his luggage. Hendrix, who had no prior drug convictions, insisted the substances had been planted by a fan without his knowledge. The case cast a shadow over his Canadian tour, but in December of that year, a jury believed his defense and acquitted him of all charges. The incident, though brief, remains one of the most serious legal challenges Hendrix faced before his death the following year.
