James Brown posed for the below South Carolina Department of Corrections mug shot in December 1988 after a jury found him guilty of aggravated assault, weapons possession, and failure to stop for police. The so-called Godfather of Soul was nailed for taking cops on a drug-fueled car chase between South Carolina and Georgia. Brown, 55 at the time, was sentenced to six years in state prison, but was released on parole after serving just over two years behind bars. The individual who provided this magnificent artifact to TSG is considering selling the gem. If interested, you can send an e-mail to mtaylorsc@aol.com.

“Godfather of Soul” James Brown, 70, was arrested by Aiken County cops in January 2004 and charged with domestic violence after allegedly pushing his wife to the floor during an argument at the couple’s South Carolina home. Tommie Rea Brown, 33, suffered “scratches and bruises to her right arm and hip” during the bedroom dispute, according to investigators.
