Like that whole awkward R. Kelly thing where he allegedly peed on a 14 year old girl and was subsequently charged with soliciting a minor for child pornography, seven counts of videotaping the acts, and seven counts of producing child pornography. But then, gosh darn, the charges were dropped due to a lack of probable cause for the search warrants.
Or when Will.i.am's car got "stolen" and then was suddenly "found" without the Black Eyed Peas member so much as filing a police report.
This week in music history a couple of those mysterious-type criminal acts happened to Suge Knight and Elvis Presley. To find out what they were, and to also learn about why Stevie Ray Vaughan and Oasis made history, just click to launch the gallery below.
