In March of 1976, David Bowie, Iggy Pop and two associates were arrested in a Rochester, NY hotel for possession of marijuana. Now, one may think that Mr. Bowie was just in a state of perpetual cool and unending class by the looks of that mugshot. The truth is, he actually had three days to get into his Thin White Duke character before posing.
This photo was taken on the day of his arraignment. On the day they were arrested, Bowie and friends spent only a few hours in the Monroe County Jail. The charges were all dropped after their court date. Lucky for them since they were facing fifteen-year sentences.
