Who hasn’t made a mistake in their life once or twice? Sometimes, that mistake leads to your getting arrested. In the U.S., for example, 77 million people, or one in three Americans, have a criminal record. Among those, there are a few famous people who have been in cuffs, too.

For example, did you know that Bill Gates was arrested in 1977? What’s more, his mug shot has him smiling like a real cutie pie.
