Think you had a rough weekend? At least it didn’t end up with a set of prints and a couple of front & side profile portraits that will be floating around on the internet forever. Pop Hunter is kinda proud (and a little embarrassed, honestly) to present its most exploitative column to date: Monday’s Musical Mug Shots!

Think you had a rough weekend? At least it didn’t end up with a set of prints and a couple of front & side profile portraits that will be floating around on the internet forever. If you’re a high profile pop star, it’s easy to go off the rails on that crazy train called life. As a result of this increased wildness, these musical celebrities are approximately 1000 times more likely to get into trouble on their weekends. Pop Hunter is kinda proud (and a little embarrassed, honestly) to present its most exploitative column to date: Monday’s Musical Mug Shots!


Year: 2011
Charge: Possession of Marijuana.

Rick Ross (a.k.a. William Roberts) was arrested in Louisiana in March of 2011, after a patron staying at Ross’ hotel complained to police of smelling marijuana smoke. I guys the Econolodge isn’t as discerning about its clientele as that patron had hoped.


Year: 2003
Charge: Murder

Phil Spector was arrested for shooting Lana Clarkson to death in his L.A. home in 2003. Apparently they don’t allow you to wear wigs in prison. Also, apparently Phil Spector looks exactly like Gollum.


Year: 2009
Charge: Federal Drug Charges. conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute.

Dancehall singer Buju Banton got booked trying to score five kilos of cocaine from an undercover DEA agent. I imagine prison is not a fun place for a homophobe.


Year: 2005
Charge: Drunk Driving

Nick Carter, then 25 years-old, was arrested for drunk driving at 7 pm. He was released just 4 hours later, presumably early enough to hit the town again. Hopefully he was able to grab some toilet moonshine while in the slammer, and keep that buzz rockin’!


Year: 2006
Charge: Domestic Abuse

Musician Yanni was arrested for allegedly abusing his live-in girlfriend. Yanni split her lip open, and committed verbal abuse, calling her a “cunt,” “whore,” and “garbage.” I didn’t realize Yanni’s new-age soundscapes were so entrenched in rage.
