David Bowie's NY Mug Shot: 'Coolest of All Time'

David Bowie was charged with possession of marijuana in Rochester 40 years ago, after a concert.

New Yorkers are remembering that as they mourn the rock star’s death at 69 from cancer.

The arrest led to what Buzzfeed called the coolest mugshot of all time, after Bowie’s arraignment.

Syracuse.com has the story behind the mugshot.

The Democrat and Chronicle also reran the two original articles it published about the arrest and the outcome.
