Today, 51 years ago, The Doors frontman, Jim Morrison was arrested after the band performed at The Pussy Cat A Go Go in Las Vegas. Morrison was taunting a security guard in the parking lot by pretending to smoke a joint. One of the bouncers hit Morrison over the head with a billy club and caused his head to bleed. This resulted in a fight and the police later charged Morrison with public drunkenness, failure to possess sufficient identification and vagrancy. On the ride to the station, Morrison was enraged and provoked the cops who later threatened to beat him up after their shift ended. This was one of the six times Morrison got arrested.
