Venice Beach Collections brings you this infamous mugshot. At age 25 Morrison was arrested for public drunkenness in 1968. As the story goes, stopping off at the Pussycat a’ Go-Go on a trip to Las Vegas with writer Robert Grover, Jim Morrison decided to smoke a cigarette like a joint – and one of the security guards at the club wasn’t having any of it. Morrison reportedly told the guard, “Whyn’t you jump up my ass?” and was met with a billy club to the head. The pair was arrested for public drunkenness and disturbing the peace. Morrison wasn't finished, however, taunting the cops in the parking lot of the club and at the police station. The pair were strip-searched, doused with a boric acid powder and thrown into a cell. Morrison continued to yell profanities at the cops until one of the officers said that he would see Morrison “in private” when he clocked out. Fortunately, Grover’s girlfriend was able to post bail for the duo before that meeting took place.
