Mugshot Monday: Bowie

David Bowie

Can you imagine how hard it must’ve been to arrest David Bowie?

Bowie: Mister Officer, I am of the Cat People. I am the Starman. I am Ziggy Stardust.
Officer: Whatever, fruitbag.
Bowie: Fingerprints? See these eyes so green.
Officer: What?
Bowie: Nothing.
Officer: Sir, I’m going to have to ask you to -
Bowie: PRESSURE. PUSHING DOWN ON ME PUSHING DOWN ON YOU…

… and so on and so on.

    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 co defendants at a Rochester hotel following a concert. Bowie was held in the Monroe County jail for a few hours before being released. The below Rochester Police Department mug shot was taken three days after Bowie’s arrest, when the performer appeared at City Court for arraignment.
