Legendary crooner Frank Sinatra is given a mugshot at the age of just 23 after he was arrested for the archaic charge of ‘seduction’ in 1938
Frank Sinatra, 1938
This image hows the moment that police snapped legendary crooner Frank Sinatra when he was arrested for ‘seduction’ in 1938.
This seemingly archaic charge was generally applied when a man convinced an unmarried woman of good repute to engage in an inappropriate encounter with him.
It could also include a promise of marriage that would never appear, which in the 1930s could ruin a woman’s reputation.
Sinatra, who was only 23 at the time but with twinkling blue eyes, found himself in just that situation.
The charge was eventually dropped when it was discovered that the supposedly single woman was in fact married.
Later that year, armed with this new information, the original charge was revised slightly, and Sinatra was again arrested, this time for Adultery.
A bond was set for Sinatra, which he promptly paid, and he was released. The Adultery charge was later dropped and in total, he spent only a few hours in jail as a result of the situation.
Hugh Grant, 1995

In 1995, Hugh Grant was famously arrested near Sunset Boulevard after paying around $60 for Divine to perform oral sex on him in his car.
The star was dating model Liz Hurley at the time, and said the act was performed in his car after he didn’t have enough money to take Divine – real name Estella Marie Thompson – to a hotel.
In a statement at the time Hugh said: ‘Last night I did something completely insane. I have hurt people I love and embarrassed people I work with. For both things I am more sorry than I can ever possibly say.’
Hugh was sentenced to a fine of $1,000 and ordered to attend an education program about Aids.

Lindsay Lohan, 2010
Lindsay Lohan has had a troubled past and suffered years of substance abuse resulting in drink driving arrests.
She has posed for multiple mugshots but her most famous one was taken in July 2010 and it went viral.
The actress began serving a 90-day sentence at Lynwood jail in California for violating her probation in her 2007 DUI case.
She was later released for good behaviour after serving just 13 days.
Lohan had been in and out of rehab and faced a string of drinking and drug convictions since 2007, with a mugshot released to match every one.
Elvis Presley, 1970
This mugshot of Elvis Presley may at first look like a disappointing fall from grace for The King – but all is not as it seems.
Still wearing his iconic sunglasses and huge pompadour hairdo, Elvis appears to goof around in what is a staged photo.
The rock ‘n’ roll icon was in the Denver, Colorado police station to accept an honorary police badge in 1970 when he was offered the chance to have his own mugshot.
As a born entertainer, Elvis was only too happy to agree. He also took another photo with the daughters of the Denver Police Chief.
He had flown in from his Graceland home in Memphis, Tennessee specifically for the honour, and had had an incredible interaction with fellow passengers on the plane ride over.
One passenger, writing in the Little Rock Ski Club newsletter at the time said: Perhaps the most exciting early trip was to Vail in 70. We flew on a direct Braniff flight from Little Rock to Denver.
‘The flight originated in Memphis and on board waiting for us was none other than the King himself – Elvis! The first thing he did was to get on the intercom and sing Love Me Tender to the passengers.
‘Then he made a trip through the cabin making a brief stop, talking to everyone, most of whom were ski club members. It was truly memorable and I have always admired him for his down to earth way of treating us on that day’.

O.J. Simpson’s mugshot after his murder arrest in 1994
OJ Simpson, 1994
Former NFL great OJ Simpson was freed from parole last year after being granted an early discharge from parole by the Nevada Parole Board.
The acquitted murder suspect had been on parole since October 1, 2017, after serving nine years in prison for an armed robbery in Las Vegas in which he claimed he was trying to retrieve memorabilia taken from him after his infamous trial for the killings of wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ronald Goldman.
His parole term was set to end on February 9, 2022 but the Nevada Parole Board granted him an early discharge on November 30, a decision that was ratified on December 6.
Simpson was convicted by a Clark County jury in October 2008 and served nine years in prison for leading five men, including two with guns, in a September 2007 confrontation with two sports collectibles dealers at a Las Vegas casino hotel.
Simpson insisted he only wanted to retrieve personal mementoes and items stolen from him following his acquittal in Los Angeles in the 1994 slayings of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman.
The two were found stabbed to death outside of her Los Angeles condominium on June 13, 1994, with bloodstains matching Simpson’s blood type found at the scene.
He had become the main suspect in the double-murders by the morning of June 17 of that year, when he led the Los Angeles Police Department in a low-speed car chase in his white Ford Bronco.
Simpson was eventually acquitted of the murders in a trial that captivated the nation and propelled the legal careers of Robert Kardashian, Robert Shapiro and Johnny Cochran.

Striking a pose of rebellion, actress Jane Fonda is pictured in custody after being arrested for trumped-up drug charges in Cleveland, Ohio in 1970
Jane Fonda, 1970
Striking a pose of rebellion, actress Jane Fonda is pictured in custody after being arrested for trumped-up drug charges in Cleveland, Ohio.
It was reported that the then 32-year-old had just finished working on Klute – hence her distinctive haircut – when she was arrested at an airport in Cleveland on November 3, 1970.
The customs officers wrongly accused Fonda of drug smuggling after finding vitamins labelled b, l and d (breakfast, lunch and dinner) in her bag.
Known for her prominent anti-Vietnam war activism, her arrest over something so innocent as vitamins was a sign of the paranoia of the time.
At the time, the actress was on her way back from speaking at an anti-Vietnam war fundraiser in Canada.
Later, an officer told her that orders for her arrest came straight from the Nixon White House. Displeased by her anti-Vietnam War activism, the FBI and CIA had been surveilling her for months.
Writing about her false arrest on her blog earlier this year, she said: ‘They confiscated (my vitamins) as well as my address book (which was photocopied) and arrested me for drug smuggling.
‘I told them what they were but they said they were getting orders from the White House – that would be the Nixon White House.
‘I think they hoped this “scandal” would cause the college speeches to be cancelled and ruin my respectability. I was handcuffed and put in the Cleveland Jail, which is when the mugshot was taken.
‘I was released on bond and months later, after every pill had been tested in a lab (with taxpayers money!) the charges were dismissed and there were a few paragraphs hidden in the back of papers that they were vitamins, not drugs.’

Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar gives an eerie smile in this mugshot from 1977 after police allegedly found 40lbs of cocaine concealed in a spare tire
Pablo Escobar, 1977
For a renowned drug trafficker and crime boss responsible for hundreds of murders, being behind bars would not be a happy ordeal.
But in this iconic mugshot from 1977, Pablo Escobar is seen smiling for his arresting officers at a regional Colombian National Police station in Medellín.
The circumstances of the picture, believed to be Escobar’s only ever mugshot, are unclear but it is assumed his display of happiness comes from know he won’t be in prison for long.
It has been reported that Escobar and several of his men were arrested after police allegedly found 40lbs of cocaine concealed in a spare tire.
But when it came to handling the case, it was pushed between several different judges but none of them would touch it for fear of reprisals. Eventually it was dropped and Escobar walked out.
With dozens of guards and officers receiving payments from his cartel to turn a blind eye or other nefarious activities, Colombian government struggled to ever pin down the drug lord.
Escobar, who was eventually shot and killed in December 1993, was at one stage responsible for supplying 80 percent of the world’s cocaine and had ambitions of running his home country.
In 1991, he struck a deal with Colombia’s then-president Cesar Gaviria to prevent him from being extradited to the US.

David Bowie, dressed much like his Thin White Duke character, gives a faint smile while receiving a booking for marijuana possession in Rochester, New York during his 1976 Station To Station tour
David Bowie, 1976
Late rockstar David Bowie’s Station To Station tour had a very memorable moment when he was pictured looking every inch the icon while receiving a booking for marijuana possession.
Bowie had played a Saturday night show on March 20, 1976 at the Community War Memorial Arena in Rochester, New York before returning to his hotel.
Later that night however, Bowie and a few friends – including one James Osterberg Jr (Iggy Pop) – were arrested in his three-room suite on marijuana charges.
A police report at the time said they confiscated ‘about half a pound of marijuana’ from the group.
His mugshot from Rochester Police Department shows the Ziggy Stardust singer wearing a three-piece pinstripe suit and unbuttoned white shirt with his hair slicked by like his Thin White Duke character.
But with a show in Springfield, Massachusetts later on that day, Bowie, then 28, paid the group’s bonds to make it back on the road in time for the gig.
He returned a few days later to plead innocent in Rochester City Court
In a short interview afterwards, Bowie complimented the city’s police officers: ‘They were very courteous and very gentle,’ Bowie said. ‘They’ve been just super.’
After completing shows at Madison Square Garden, Bowie returned to Europe at the end of March 1976.
In May 1976, the charges were effectively dismissed after a grand jury declined to indict the legendary artist. He never returned to Rochester.

Steve McQueen is pictured giving a cheeky peace-sign hand gesture during his mugshot in Anchorage, Alaska for drunk driving in 1972
Steve McQueen, 1972
Film legend Steve McQueen is pictured giving a cheeky peace-sign hand gesture during his mugshot in Alaska.
Known for his high-speed driving performances in Bullitt and LeMans, McQueen was busted in the southern city of Anchorage for drunk driving in 1972.
According to witnesses, the movie star raced through town in a rented Oldsmobile Toronado. When Police finally managed to pull him over and perform a sobriety test, he failed by somersaulting down the white line, on which he was ordered to walk.
Posing for his mugshot McQueen, wearing a while polka dot shirt, smiled and raised two fingers for the camera.
The Anchorage Daily News wrote at the time of the photo: ‘Historical photographs tell many of the stories. They start the minute you walk in the door with the mug shot and arrest record of actor Steve McQueen, who got busted for doing “brodies” in an Oldsmobile Toronado in downtown Anchorage in 1972.
‘McQueen, with a ding on his nose, is looking mighty ragged after his night on the town here, a raggedness exceeded only by his seismographic signature.’
McQueen posted bail and left town, but not before signing autographs while still in handcuffs.
He was later convicted in absentia for reckless driving.

Jimi Hendrix is here pictured in glorious technicolour following his arrest at Toronto International Airport for drugs offences, the guitar hero was acquitted after a three-day trial.
Near the end of his US and Canada tour, the guitarist was scheduled to give an evening performance at Maple Leaf Gardens on Saturday, May 3, 1969. That morning, the band members flew into Toronto.
But mere moments after Hendrix stepped off the plane, a bottle containing three packets of heroin and a tube with hashish residue was found in his flight bag.
Police detained Hendrix for four hours, while a police lab confirmed the suspicious substances were illegal drugs before he was then charged.
His photograph shows a solitary Hendrix staring down the lens and wearing his classic unbuttoned purple shirt and gold necklace.
Hendrix was arrested, charged, photographed and released on $10,000 bail and then given a police escort to Maple Leaf Gardens, where 10,000 fans were waiting for the 8pm concert to begin.
Shortly before Christmas, Hendrix was able to declare Canada had given him ‘the best Christmas present’ when a Toronto jury acquitted him of drug possession charges.
Sadly for local Hendrix fans, it would be his last visit to this country and indeed, his last Christmas. The Purple Haze songwriter died 10 months later in London.

Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger grimaces in a mugshot after being arrested in the infamous Redlands drug bust in 1967
Mick Jagger, 1967
The Rolling Stones frontman had a few brushes with the law earlier on his career, and the Redlands drug bust in 1967 is by far the most infamous.
Following a tip-off from the News of the World paper on Sunday February 12, a detective led a squad of 18 officers on a raid of guitarist Keith Richards’ West Sussex home.
Reports at the time say police arrived to find Jagger, Richards and singer Marianne Faithful apparently coming down from an all-day acid trip.
In his biography, Life, Richards remembers: ‘There’s a knock on the door, I look out the window, and there’s this whole lot of dwarves outside … I’d never been busted before, and I’m still on acid’
There were few signs of any illegal activity at the property, with press reports later focusing an rather famous incident involving a Mars Bar.
Jagger was accused of possessing four amphetamine tablets and sentenced to a £200 fine and to three months’ imprisonment.
In a photo believed to have been taken at Brixton prison, where he was being kept, Jagger gave a expressionless face while dressed in a grey suit and black tie.
However on appeal the court gave Jagger a conditional discharge.

Cher was only 13 or 14 years old when she was arrested for allegedly driving off in her friend’s car to the drive-in theater in Los Angeles, California
Cher, 1959
No all stars are adults by the time they come to the attention of the law, as was the case with Cher.
The Believe singer was only 13 or 14 years old when she was arrested – after she took a friend’s car to the drive-in theater in Los Angeles, California.
It is reported that this friend had asked her to watch their vehicle while he ran inside to do something, but Cher got tired of moving the car out of the way and waiting.
The police tracked her down and arrested her, leading to this incredible youthful mugshot by the now 75-year-old.
While the singer claims she does not remember getting arrested as a teen, her singer mother Georgia Holt was happy to share the story – and the mugshot – during an episode of The Tonight Show in 2013.
According to Holt, Cher had got bored of looking after the car for her friend and so went for a spin then ended up at the local theater.
‘And then the police came,’ added Cher.
Holt continued: ‘And they called me at 3.30 in the morning and said we have your daughter down here at the police station.’
Cher is believed to be mortified by the picture.

This mugshot shows Malcolm Little, soon to become Malcolm X, after he was arrested for burglary in 1946
Malcolm X, 1946
This mugshot shows Malcolm Little, soon to become Malcolm X, after he was arrested for burglary in 1946.
Moving back to his teenage home of Boston, Mass. after a stay in New York City, Malcolm began a series of elaborate burglaries targeting the residences of wealthy white families with a group of accomplices.
On January 12, 1946, Little was arrested for burglary while trying to pick up a stolen watch he had left for repairs at a jewellery shop.
The shop owner called the police because the watch seemed too expensive for the average Roxbury resident. Little told the police that he had a gun on his person and surrendered so the police would treat him more leniently.
Two days later, Little was indicted for carrying firearms. On January 16, he was charged with larceny and breaking and entering, and eventually sentenced to eight to ten years in Massachusetts State Prison.
Eventually Malcolm and his buddy, Malcolm ‘Shorty’ Jarvis, moved back to Boston. In 1946 they were arrested and convicted on burglary charges, and Malcolm was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
During his time inside, he joined the Nation of Islam, adopted the name Malcolm X and soon became one of the organization’s most influential leaders.
He was paroled in 1952 after serving seven years.
