Title: Beach Boys and their run-ins with the law.
Post by: Al Jardine: Pick Up Artist on April 11, 2013, 10:08:18 PM
We all know about Carl and the draft, and a newspaper clipping was posted today of Brian being arrested in the 80s. Are there any other notable or funny events like this (I'm sure there are)

i'd assume Dennis might have gotten a DUI at one point or another

Yeah, but that's really, really safe to assume.  I'm looking for more surprising/interesting things.

Dennis had a 1978 arrest for having a 16 or 17 year old teenager with him. I think there was an arrest where Karen reported Dennis to have an unlicensed gun. around new years 1976. Don't know if I would call them funny exactly.

Didn't Mike get arrested in France in '64 for punching someone whilst in a brothel? I seem to remember something like that from Earl Leaf

I remember that. I think it was in Tucson. My ex wife said she went to school with the girl's older sister and they were both slutski's. There was an article in the newspaper about it - I think I still have it. Dennis was partying in his hotel room with some underage girls, and he was arrested for contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The girl was nailed for violating curfew. The Boys were playing at U of A I think.

What about Brian getting arested at the '84 Republican National Convention in Dallas? Two guys with him were popped for carrying pills, but Brian skated.

It was in munich and he wasn't in a brothel. Mike was also arrested in february 1970 durinng his fasting fiasco. Also carl was arrested for draft evasion in april 1967. Jon Stebbins has a story in his book about dennis getting arrested in late 1962june in santa cruz for fighting

Actually that late 1962 story is in the Dave Marks book, and in the Dennis documentary...and now its in Ian's and my upcoming book too. I think its confirmed Dennis spent a night in jail around 1969 or 1979 too. Definitely got popped in '78. I'd estimate he landed in jail at least four or five times, but talked his way out of dozens more.  I'm sure Ed can give more details.

Lt's all hope Ed talks voluntarily, so we don't have to put the screws to him...
