David Crosby Arrested on Marijuana, Gun Charges

Mar 6, 2004

The Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) - Musician David Crosby was arrested on marijuana and gun possession charges early Saturday at a Times Square hotel, police said. Crosby, 62, a two-time inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, had checked out of the hotel but left a piece of luggage behind, police said.

A hotel worker found the bag and went through it looking for identification, and called police after finding marijuana, a .45-caliber handgun and two knives, authorities said.

Crosby was met by police when he returned to pick up the bag, investigators said.

Crosby, a founding member of both the Byrds and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, had been performing at the B.B. King Blues Club off Times Square and at Shea Auditorium in Wayne, N.J.

In 1985 he was convicted of drug possession in Dallas and spent a year in prison before his conviction was overturned on appeal.

Calls seeking comment from Crosby's management company were not immediately returned Saturday.

This Prince of Humanity has also:

• Fathered a child with/for a lesbian couple
• Used his celebrity to jump to the front of a liver transplant recipient line.

D'OH!

But, but weed doesn't affect the mind or at least that's what I keep hearing around here.

Rosie is probably "shocked and disgusted" by this action from authorities...< /sarcasm>

A hotel worker found the bag and went through it looking for identification, and called police...

Sadest thing about this piece is that some poor maid will probably lose their job for having ratted on a high paying guest!

Sounds like JFKerry, who can't remember what he said yesterday.

I don't have a problem with Crosby possessing either, but the fact that he's a far-left lib will exonerate him in the eyes of Big Media. In short don't expect Molly Ivins and her cohorts to put Crosby under the lib microscope like they're doing to Limbaugh. His case will be ignored or rationalized by the lib elite.

I wonder how far this will go, his defense attorney will claim that the bag was not in his possession when found and that the clerk may have put it there, etc..

"his defense attorney will claim that the bag was not in his possession when found and that the clerk may have put it there, etc.."

Sounds like Cheech and Chong:)
