Matthew Broderick — Careless Driving

For an actor who gained fame for playing a role where his character takes his dad’s car and takes the day off from school, Matthew Broderick should know better than to drive recklessly. But the star of “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” just didn’t take heed. This is why he now has a criminal record for careless driving.

It could’ve been worse. Someone died in the crash incident, and he was initially charged with causing death by dangerous driving. This was when he was dating “Dirty Dancing” star Jennifer Grey, with the incident proving instrumental in their breakup. In 2020 Broderick appeared on a podcast called “The Pack Podcast.”

Woody Harrelson — Disorderly Conduct and Resisting Arrest

Woody Harrelson is a bad boy, a bad, bad boy. He has been arrested so many times that we don’t know where to start. He was arrested at the age of 21 for disorderly conduct after dancing in the street to avoid a police officer.

Bill Gates — Driving Without a License and Speeding

Bill Gates may come across as a nerdy guy with a lot of money in the bank, but he also had a wild side. This includes a penchant for speed. Hence, he owns a Porsche, among many other big brand cars. This is also how he got arrested in New Mexico in 1977.

This was for running a stop sign and driving without a license. While it could have been blamed on the excess of youth, he has continued to pick up speeding fines in his adult life, most notably in his Porsche 911.

Nick Pickard — DUI

Khloe Kardashian — DUI

Only a Kardashian could get into trouble, yet no one knows it happened. This is even though Khloe and her sister have been under the spotlight with their show “Keeping up with the Kardashians” since 2007. The only way you’ll learn these things is if you watch the gossip rags.

Keanu Reeves – DUI

Keanu Reeves may be renowned as one of the nicest guys in Hollywood, but even he was a bad boy at one time in his life. Of all the videos of him giving up his seat on the train and stories about helping struggling crew members financially, there was one time he transgressed the law.

Jay Z — Stabbing

Jay Z is a rap legend and businessman worth $1.3 billion. But his background is a little shady. This comes through in his early songs, where he has rapped about dealing drugs and shooting his brother, although he was never arrested for those offenses.

This was for allegedly stabbing a record executive, who was believed to be the man who bootlegged  Jay-Z’s Vol. 3… album. He pleaded guilty and got a three-year probation sentence. In 2021 Jay Z was inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.

Kiefer Sutherland — DUI

There are two sides to Keifer Sutherland. His bad-boy era is in films like “Stand By Me” and “The Lost Boys.” Then there is the stand-up man period of “24” and “Designated Survivor.” But it appears that the bad boy nature never left him, at least according to his wrap sheet.

His preferred offense is driving under the influence. He was arrested for this offense in 1989 when he was also caught with a loaded weapon. He did it again in 1993 and one more time in 2004. His 2006 offense was his worst because he violated probation and faced jail. In 2022 he starred in the film “The Contractor.”

Christian Slater — Drunk Driving, Assault

“Work is my hobby; staying sober is my job.” Those are the words of Christian Slater, who admits to having difficulties with substances throughout his career. But substance abuse isn’t the only reason he has been in trouble with the law.

He was in cuffs for trying to board a plane with a gun in his luggage in 1994. Slater was also convicted of punching his girlfriend and assaulting a police officer while under the influence. He was also arrested for indecently touching a woman in public. The last of those charges were dropped due to insufficient evidence. In 2022 he narrated the animated series ” The Boys Presents: Diabolical.”

Cheryl Cole — ABH

When you think of Cheryl Cole, aka Cheryl Tweedy, aka Cheryl, you imagine a mild-mannered woman with a good heart. You would be most right, too, although she has been known to lose her cool from time to time. This penchant for losing it has seen the singer add a stain to her criminal record.

This was after she had an interaction with a toilet attendant at a nightclub. This led to her assaulting the woman and subsequently being arrested. She was charged with assault to cause actual bodily harm (ABH) and sentenced to community service. In 2021 she launched a podcast titled You, Me & R&B with Cheryl.

Michelle Rodriguez is famous for her role as Letty Ortiz in the “Fast & Furious” franchise. The fast-paced, fast-driving film series is probably why she has had so many run-ins with the law over the years. This all started in 2004 when she had three driving violations in Hawaii.

She pleaded no contest and was sentenced to probation, which she broke in 2006 when she was caught DUI. She was given jail time and was given a six-month sentence. However, she only served one day and was released due to overcrowding. In 2021 she returned as Letty in “F9: The Fast Saga.”

Mischa Barton – DUI

Mischa Barton has been a female symbol since before she could drink and drive. She noted this in a 2021 interview she did with Harper Bazaar. Maybe this is why she tried to do both at the same time when she was 21.

The felony was even worse because she didn’t have her license and was so out of it that she was straddling the lines and not using turn signals. Barton had both alcohol and marijuana in her bloodstream to compound it all. She paid a $10,000 fine and served 200 hours of community service for her trouble.

Paris Hilton – Drug Possession

Being a trendsetter and one of the most famous socialites globally, Paris Hilton has had no problem getting in trouble with the law. Her party lifestyle and constantly being out on the town has led to her being caught in some compromising positions by police.

She pleaded guilty and was let off with 200 hours of community service. In 2021 she had a cooking show called “Cooking with Paris.”

O. J. Simpson – Breaking And Entering

You would think that, After experiencing the court battles he had during the trial for his ex-wife’s murder, O.J Simpson would avoid criminal activity. But it turns out he can’t resist the impulse, and what people call retribution came his way as a result.

In 2007 he was arrested for breaking and entering and stealing sports memorabilia. He was also in possession of a firearm. He was eventually found guilty and sentenced to 33 years behind bars. He was released in 2021 on parole thanks to his behavior while serving his sentence.

Snoop Dogg – Murder

The thing about the old-school rappers is that they come for street life. There it’s eat or be eaten, and it’s also pretty dangerous. Snoop Dogg is old school, and in his teens had to resort to joining a gang and living a life of crime.

Snoop will tell you that he was never arrested, but there is a record for him from 1993 when he was arrested on murder charges. This was for the shooting of Phillip Woldemarian in Los Angeles. He was acquitted of all charges. In 2021 he released an album called “From tha Streets 2 tha Suites.”

Either way, he was as well known for his family name as he was for his constant drug arrests. He even admitted on “Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew” that he had a cocaine addiction. This came to the fore in 1999 when he was arrested for being high on cocaine and running naked through the halls of a New York hotel, shouting his surname.

Martin Sheen – Trespassing

Martin Sheen has been arrested over 60 times throughout his life. But this doesn’t mean he was a bad boy; he just had a cause and was prepared to do anything to support it. Most of his massive rap sheet is made up of protest arrests.

In 2021 he appeared on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”

Mark Wahlberg — Initially Charged with Attempted Murder

In a 2022 interview alongside his “UNchartered” co-star Tom Holland, Mark Wahlberg spoke about their different paths since he had been to prison and Holland hadn’t. This was obviously during Wahlberg’s younger days when he was an aspiring rapper and just getting up to no good.

One time he was arrested and sentenced for attempted murder after he and a bunch of friends attacked an elderly Vietnamese man named Johnny Trinh. He was sentenced to two years but only served 45-days. This was enough to make him turn things around, though, switching from music to acting and making it big.

The offense was struck off his record after completing 80 hours of community service. Since 2019 he has been starring in the show “The Boys.”

Vanilla Ice — Domestic Violence

Despite carrying the name Vanilla Ice, this rapper isn’t the coolest head in the room. But it probably can be frustrating when most of the money from his biggest hit goes to the band whose song he sampled to make it. But that still isn’t enough to stop you from getting arrested.
