Who hasn't made a mistake in their life once or twice? Sometimes, that mistake leads to your getting arrested. In the U.S., for example, 77 million people, or one in three Americans, have a criminal record. Among those, there are a few famous people who have been in cuffs, too.
For example, did you know that Bill Gates was arrested in 1977? What's more, his mug shot has him smiling like a real cutie pie. Some even say that that's where the default pic for a Microsoft Outlook profile came from! We've got more celebrities and their mug shots down below, including their arrest stories. So, sit back and scroll down to find the most entertaining and interesting ones!
