HERE ARE 10 RECENT CELEBRITY MUGSHOTS THAT GARNERED NATIONAL HEADLINES

Anytime a celebrity is arrested it’s news. The public has a seemingly unending appetite for the downfall of people from television or the silver screen. Sometimes their mugshots seem to be the story more than the arrests themselves. 

Celebrities behaving badly is a tale as old as Hollywood itself. Each arrest garners interest across the country. Here are 10 recent celebrity mugshots and the stories behind the arrest of popular athletes, starlets and reality stars.

In 2014, music superstar Justin Bieber was arrested and taken into custody in Miami. He was charged with drunk driving, resisting arrest, and driving without a valid license, according to CNN. 

He was street racing in the early morning hours, officials said. When police tried to arrest him, he said, “What the f*** did I do? Why did you stop me?” He did not cooperate with the officer’s instructions. He was released on $2,500 bond that afternoon.

Tiger Woods had five different drugs in his system when he was arrested for driving under the influence in 2017. The drugs included painkillers, sleeping pills, and an active ingredient in marijuana, NBC News reported.
