Getting arrested is no joke, but that doesn’t mean that some peoples’ arrests aren’t a bit funny, especially when it comes to celebrity mugshots. Here’s Freedom Bail Bond’s list of our top ten favorite celebrity mugshots of all time, from the brilliant to the downright awful.
10- Bill Gates
Proving that everyone can be arrested, the world’s richest man got caught running a red light without a license.
9- Matthew McConaughey
McConaughey looks more satisfied with himself than upset after being arrested for weed and paraphernalia after being caught nakedly playing the bongos in his Austin home.
8- Jane Fonda
One of the more famous mugshots ever, Fonda was arrested for smuggling, assault and battery.
7- John Edwards
Leave it to a politician to take a mugshot like it was a press photograph.
6- Snooki
It should come as no surprise to fans of The Jersey Shore that Snooki was arrested at the beach for disorderly conduct.
5- Frank Sinatra
The King of Cool, Sinatra looks great in the mugshot for his arrest over “seducing” a single woman. Charges were dropped when it was found that she was married.
4- Willie Nelson
Our hometown hero looks less than thrilled about his 2010 Texas arrest for, you guessed it, marijuana on his tour bus.
3- Lindsay Lohan
One of five famous mugshots of Lohan, this is the girl’s first of many to come.
2- James Brown
It’s all there in the photo, from the barely-on green shirt thingy to his confused grin to his bizarre hair, James Brown is our number two mug.
1- Nick Nolte
Topping mugshot lists everywhere, Nolte’s massively disheveled look has become the most famous photo of the star.
