ARE HERE!!

JESSE JACKSON

LAWRENCE TAYLOR

NFL Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor was busted by South Carolina cops in May 1996 and charged with attempted possession of crack cocaine. The former New York Giant linebacker, who actually ended up paying $100 for fake drugs sold to him by undercover Myrtle Beach police, was sentenced to community service after entering a pretrial intervention program.

RICKY WILLIAMS

NFL running back Ricky Williams was arrested by Texas cops in February 2000 for refusing to sign a traffic ticket. Williams, who was a member of the New Orleans Saints at the time, was pulled over by Austin police after they allegedly saw him swerve his Hummer across lanes without signaling.

M. CULKIN

Macaulay Culkin was nabbed in Oklahoma for possession of marijuana and two controlled dangerous substances (Xanax and sleeping pills) for which he did not have a prescription. The bleary-eyed actor, 24, posed for the below Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office mug shot following a traffic stop of his buddy's car in September 2004. Culkin, best known for starring in the "Home Alone" movies, was arrested and briefly jailed before being released on $4,000 bond.

YOUNG BUCK

And this is rapper Young Buck, real name David Darnell Brown, seen here in a mug shot taken during of his multiple arrests - he's been busted on drug charges as well as domestic assault and driving without a license. But Young Buck's in a little more serious trouble this time - cops want to talk to him about an incident at the VIBE awards on November 15, in which he allegedly stabbed a man who had earlier punched rapper/producer Dr. Dre. Cops say they have video of Young Buck "lunging over another male and swinging the knife." Man, you can't take these guys anywhere.

T.I.

Meet Clifford Harris, a.k.a. the rapper "T.I.", currently incarcerated in the Fulton County (Georgia) lockup on a probation violation, is now at the center of a new controversy sweeping the jail. Seems that last week Harris received permission from one of the jailers to film a rap video in the jail - only problem is a female prisoner escaped custody while the video was being filmed - and now the Sheriff and everybody else involved are all very busy pointing fingers at each other. The female inmate was recaptured a few hours later, but the Sheriff is ticked off, the deputy who gave permission for the video to be filmed may get fired, or it may be the deputy who's the godfather of Harris who gets the axe - depending upon politics. Can't they all just get along?

Ty Law
And this, of course, is Ty Law, cornerback for the New England Patriots, seen here in his booking mug taken on April 17, 2004 by Miami Beach PD after allegedly leading police on a foot chase through a popular nightclub district. According to police, they attempted to pull Law's 2004 Rolls Royce over for a lane violation. First he pulled over, then took off, then pulled over again. He got out of the car, cops told him to put his hands behind his back, he got upset and took off on foot. When cops caught him, he reportedly said "don't touch me - I'm a professional athlete." Huh? That means ... what, exactly?

TIM ALLEN

We all know and love actor Tim Allen. Whether it's from his hit television show "Home Improvement" or movies like "Jungle to Jungle," Allen has always found a soft spot in our homes. But in May of 1997, Tim hit bottom when he was arrested and charged with drunk driving in Michigan. Previously, Allen was arrested (above) and spent two years in jail for selling cocaine to an undercover policeman

DWAYNE GOODRICH

Another example of a pro-sports player that either thinks he’s above the law, or was born without the sense God gave a goat. This is Dwayne Goodrich, former cornerback for the Dallas Cowboys, seen here in his mug shot taken by Dallas (Texas) police in January of 2003 after he was arrested on two counts of manslaughter. Goodrich allegedly drove his BMW in excess of 100 mph through an accident scene, where several motorists had stopped to help another driver from a burning vehicle after it had collided with a disabled 18-wheeler. Goodrich fatally struck and killed two of the people trying to help the other driver, dragging one of them about 150 feet. According to witnesses, there were no skid marks, nor did he make any attempt to slow down, let alone stop and render aid. Goodrich later turned himself into authorities after he realized they were looking for him. In a trial in August of 2003, Goodrich was convicted of criminally negligent homicide, and sentenced to 7-1/2 years in prison. Maybe he’ll think about things while he’s in there.

JAMES BROWN

"Godfather of Soul" James Brown, 70, was arrested by Aiken County cops in January 2004 and charged with domestic violence after allegedly pushing his wife to the floor during an argument at the couple's South Carolina home. Tommie Rea Brown, 33, suffered "scratches and bruises to her right arm and hip" during the bedroom dispute, according to investigators.

Bam Morris
Bam Morris, a former leading rusher for the Pittsburgh Steelers, was arrested and subsequently sentenced to 10 years in prison for violating his probation on a 1996 drug conviction. Bam had pleaded guilty to the underlying charges, and is reported to have had a substance abuse problem.

DWIGHT GOODEN

In February 2002, Tampa cops arrested retired baseball star Dwight Gooden for drunk driving. The former All-Star pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of reckless driving in June 2002, and was sentenced to probation.

ANTHONY ANDERSON

Actor Anthony Anderson was arrested in July 2004 for the aggravated rape of a woman who police say was assaulted after being lured into a production trailer on a Memphis movie set. According to the Shelby County Sheriff's Office, Anderson, 33, and Wayne Witherspoon, 42, violated the woman, a movie extra, "with their hands and took pictures of her while she was nude." In October 2004, a judge, calling the case "suspicious," dismissed the rape charges against Anderson and Witherspoon.

DENNIS RODMAN

RAY LEWIS

Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis was photographed by Atlanta cops in February 2000 after being charged with murder following the stabbing death of two men at a local nightclub. Lewis, who was in town attending Super Bowl XXXIV parties, pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor obstruction of justice charge and was sentenced to 12 months probation.

IRV GOTTI

Murder, Inc. head Irving Lorenzo (aka Irv Gotti) was arrested by Oakland, California police in August 2003 and charged with misdemeanor possession of a controlled substance. Cops found a single tab of Ecstasy in his pocket as he attempted to pass through a security checkpoint backstage at an R. Kelly show. And while it's not illegal, they also found Viagra on the 32-year-old rap impresario.

IVERSON

NBA superstar Allen Iverson surrendered to Philadelphia police in July 2002 to face gun and assault raps, charges that were all subsequently dismissed by a Municipal Court judge.

OLD DIRTY

Wu-Tang Clan member Russell Jones, also known as Ol' Dirty Bastard, Big Baby Jesus, and presently Dirt McGirt, was paroled from the Clinton Correctional Facility in February 2003. The rapper was photographed by the New York State Department of Correctional Services in December 2001 while serving 2 to 4 years on a drug charge. He previously posed in California after his arrest for making terrorist threats to customers at a West Hollywood nightclub

DARRYL STRAW USED IT

Former baseball All-Star Darryl Strawberry was arrested by Tampa police in April 1999 and charged with possession of cocaine and soliciting a prostitute. He has since been rearrested (and jailed) several times for violating probation terms.

GEORGE W.

THE RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD BILL GATES

CHARLES 6' 8" BARKLEY

Former NBA star Charles Barkley was arrested by Milwaukee police in December 1991 for allegedly punching a man in the face. In June 1992, a jury acquitted him of the assault charge.
