Today, 52 years ago, the Rolling Stonesâ Mick Jagger and Keith Richards were arrested at Richardsâ West Sussex, England home for drug possession. The bust followed Donovanâs arrest by the same drug squad, led by Norman Pilcher, the previous year, and sparked not only public debate within the rock community, but also within the underground and conservative press. Eric Clapton reportedly escaped arrest by Pilcher â who rang his doorbell pretending to be a mailman â by fleeing from his back door.
