- 1967 Brian Jones of The Rolling Stones is arrested for marijuana possession
Quote:
Another 'Stone' on drug charge
Brian Jones (25), one of the Rolling Stones, and Prince Stantslas Klossowski de Rowla, Baron de Watteville (24), a Swiss-born entertainer, both of Court-field Road, South Kensington, were charged at Kensington police station yesterday [May 10, 1967] with unlawful possession of dangerous drugs, approximately 50 grains of cannabis resin. Both men were balled to appear at West London today. The charges followed a 'raid by officers of Scotland Yard drug squad yesterday afternoon.
(The Guardian (London, Greater London, England), 11 May 1967, Thu, Page 1)
Jones was arrested for drug possession on 10 May 1967, shortly after the "Redlands" incident at Richards' Sussex home. Authorities found marijuana, cocaine, and methamphetamine in his flat. He confessed to marijuana use but claimed he did not use hard drugs.

Quote:
On This Day
10 May
1967: Two Rolling Stones on drugs charges Mick Jagger and Keith Richards of rock band the Rolling Stones have appeared before magistrates in Chichester, West Sussex, charged with drug offences.
The magistrates heard that after a tip-off, police raided Mr Richards's mansion in Redlands Road, West Wittering on the evening of Sunday 12 February during a party.
They searched the house, interviewed eight men and one woman and found various tablets and substances that were later examined by the Metropolitan Police Laboratory.
During the police raid, officers took away a number of items including Chinese joss sticks suspected of masking the sweet smell of cannabis resin and pudding basins holding cigarette ash.
Stones' lead singer Mr Jagger, 24, has been accused of illegally possessing four tablets containing amphetamine sulphate and methylamphetamine hydrochloride.
Guitarist Mr Richards, also 24, is charged with allowing his house to be used for the purpose of smoking cannabis.
Both Mr Jagger and Mr Richards pleaded not guilty and were released on bail to appear for trial at West Sussex Quarter Sessions on 22 June.
Outside the court, a crowd of young fans were waiting to see the stars but the two men were driven away in a chauffeur-driven car from the back of the building.
A third man, 29-year-old Robert Fraser, a gallery owner has been charged with possession of heroin and eight capsules of methylamphetamine hydrochloride.

50th anniversary of Brian Jones' first marijuana arrest on the same day as Mick Jagger and Keith Richards go to court over the February 12th drug raid on Richards' Sussex home.

Brian Jones in Jail; Stones Album Delayed
By Rolling Stone November 23, 1967
The Rolling Stones have finished a two-record album, their first since splitting with manager-producer Andrew Loog Oldham. It's tentatively due for release on December 1.
The delay in release is not due to the tracks themselves, but the album cover. Production problems in fitting it with a thin plastic plate to make the photograph behind appear to move in 3-D is now holding it up.
Bassist Bill Wyman wrote one track. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards wrote the rest. Jagger produced both records.
His experience may have set back the rumored plans for a Beatles-Stones merger centered on record producing. "I'm getting fed up with record producing myself," Mick said this week. "I don't think I'll do any more. Recording the Stones is enough."
But the merger idea, in some form or another, is still not completely dead. Jagger is talking over plans, possibly for a new label, with Beatle Paul McCartney.
Meanwhile, amid the tearful squeals of teenage fans, Stones' rhythm guitarist Brian Jones was sentenced to nine months imprisonment for possession of marijuana and for allowing friends to smoke it in his London apartment.
The sentence was handed down despite a psychiatrist's evidence that Jones' mental health would be completely destroyed by confinement.
"He would go into psychotic depression as he could not possibly stand a stigma of a prison sentence, and he might well attempt to injure himself," argued Dr. Leonard Henry, who treated Jones for a breakdown after his arrest last May.
Jones had pleaded guilty to the charges, but the sentence will be appealed.
Jagger is now on one year's probation for his drug conviction in June. An earlier sentence of one year in prison was reduced on appeal; Richards' conviction at the same time was completely reversed on the same appeal.
This story is from the November 23, 1967 issue of Rolling Stone.

When Jagger and Richards went to court for their trial and were sentenced, Keith told the judge something like "I have contempt for your petty morals." Mick just cried.
