Did You Know They Were Arrested?

Oftentimes famous celebrities do bad things.  Not surprisingly, many of them fly under the radar and we forget about those things and love them all the same.  Here are a few you might have forgotten/didn't know about.

Vince "ShamWow" Shlomi
Arrested in February of 2009 in Miami after getting into a fight with a hooker.  Shlomi paid the streetwalker $1000 for some hot love but made the mistake of trying to kiss her on the lips.  The lady of the night bit down on Shlomi's tongue and refused to let go until Shlomi beat her in the face like she owed him money.  Both were arrested on felony battery, but charges were never filed.  No word on if a ShamWow was used to clean up the mess.
 
Larry King
Arrested in December of 1971 for GRAND FUCKING LARCENY. King was a color commentator for the Miami Dolphins until a business partner accused him of jacking his cash.  Though the statue of limitations had run out to charge King for grand larceny, he pled  no contest to one count of passing bad checks.




Hank Williams Jr.
In April 2006, Hank Jr's name graced a warrant issued by a Tennessee court for assault to commit bodily harm.  Allegedly, Jr. choked a 19-year-old Memphis waitress while verbally attacking her.  The case was later dismissed due to lack of evidence, but one can only assume that the waitress was not ready for some football.





David Bowie
Upstate New York in March of 1976 David Bowie was arrested along side Iggy Pop after a concert.  The pair was nabbed for felony pot possession at a Rochester hotel.  The Rochester Police Department quickly loaded Bowie into a time machine and sent him back to 1901 to take his mug shot.




Don King
The man who saved/ruined boxing, Don King, was arrested for TWO murders 13 years apart from each other.  The first was ruled as a justifiable homicide after King shot a man in the back who was attempting to rob his gambling house.  The second, stay with me here, was in 1966 when King stomped an employee to death over $600.  King served just under four years in prison.  King was elected to the Gaming Hall of Fame in 2008 and is worth a God awful amount of money.  Only in America!
