This
police mugshot of the Rolling Stones front man
was taken in 1972, when Mick Jagger and Keith
Richards and three members of the Rolling Stones
entourage were arrested in Warwick, Rhode Island
on charges of assault and obstructing police.
The five were involved in a scuffle with a photographer.
They pleaded guilty and were released, but the
incident caused a four-hour delay of their concert
in Boston that night. All charges were dropped.
A few years before that in 1967 Jagger and fellow
band member Keith Richard were arrested in Britain
for drug possession and both spent short periods
in jail before their prison sentences were quashed
on appeal. Subsequently Richard revealed his
heroin use.
