Boy George: "Possesion of Drugs"
Several times, most notably in 1986, arrested in the UK for cannabis possession, and later intercepted while en route to a party under suspecion of carrying drugs. A Culture Club tour was cancelled due to this, and it disbanded not long after. Ironically, in the song "Karma Chameleon" he stated "I'm a man, without conviction"...not any more. In 2005 he was busted in the US on cocaine charges. He eventually was fined, and had to do community service.

Brian Jones: "Drug posession"
In 1967 he was caught, and marijuana, cocaine, and methamphetamines were found. He was only fined and given probation, and ordered to see a counselor. He was arrested a SECOND time in 1968 for marijuana possession, and while he would have faced a long jail sentence, instead he was given a stern warning by the judge. However, given as this was his second offense, and that the US "War on Drugs" was starting at this point, it would be tougher for him to enter the US, and the Rolling Stones wanted to do a tour there. This was one of the factors that led to him being kicked out of the Stones.
