James Brown Gets Funky

The Godfather of Soul had a long line of brushes with the law and one of the most infamous mug shots of all time. Brown got started early, getting himself arrested at the age of 16 after he and a group of friends were caught breaking into cars. Following his rise as a master of funk, Brown was arrested on drug and weapons charges in May 1988, and three months later he was arrested again following a two-state car chase that ended with the police shooting out a couple of tires on his truck. Finally, in January 2004, Brown was arrested again for domestic violence — hence the mug shot.
