5. Vince Neil Arrested For Car Crash, Killing Nicholas “Razzle” Dingley

It’s hard to call this a “WTF” arrest, in that Vince Neil deserved to be arrested. However, Motley Crue were at the top of their game in 1984. Their major label debut, Shout at the Devil, was platinum and they were definitely celebrating. Hanoi Rocks was in Los Angeles to play two sold-out shows, the band were partying at Neil’s house when drummer Nicholas “Razzle” Dingley and Neil went on a run to a liquor store. Neil was drunk and hit another car, instantly killing Razzle and causing brain damage to the two people in the other car. What’d Neil serve after getting arrested? 15 days. At least he learned his lesson.
