Back to Musicians Who Got Busted on the Move
Johnny Cash
Hulton Archive
When: October 1965
Caught while trying to smuggle pills from Juarez to El Paso, Johnny Cash (seen here outside Folsom Prison) was arrested on misdemeanor charges of possessing illegal drugs. However, he was given only a delayed sentence and a $1,000 fine, proving that you really could get away with anything in the 1960s.
