Submit a Tip!

Music legend David Bowie was arrested in upstate New York in March 1976 on a felony pot possession charge. The Thin White Duke, 29 at the time, was nabbed along with Iggy Pop and two other codefendants at a Rochester hotel following a concert. Bowie was held in the Monroe County jail for a few hours before being released. The above Rochester Police Department mug shot was taken three days after Bowie's arrest, when the performer appeared at City Court for arraignment.

Wow, I am from Rochester & never knew this. Of course I was only 12 at the time, so I probably would not have paid any attention to the stories on the news. Was never a big fan of his but it was still interesting to read about it.

This was during his "bisexual" phase I believe.
