Backstory:

Arrested in Rochester, New York in March 1976 on a felony pot possession charge. During his Thin White Duke era and 29 at the time, he was arrested with Iggy Pop and two other codefendants at a Rochester hotel following a concert. Bowie was held in the Monroe County jail for a few hours before being released. The Rochester Police Department mug shot was taken three days after Bowie's arrest, when the performer appeared at City Court for arraignment.
