Spending countless hours becoming a tried-and-true fan of certain, shall we say provocative artists, can sometimes backfire -- especially if you consider yourself a bit of a goody-two-shoes. Troublemakers, however, generally tend to gravitate towards the VIP badasses of the world. Either way, there have been some very interesting celebrity arrests over the years, from indecent exposure to tax evasion and a whole lot in between.

Here's our list of 13 famous musicians who, at one time or another, have found themselves in the back of a police cruiser.

Jim Morrison of The Doors

Everyone swooned when Jim Morrison of The Doors sang about wanting to "Love Her Madly." But it was in 1969 when he may or may not have let it, you know ‘it,’ break on through while on stage in Miami when the cops decided to issue a warrant. Morrison went to trial and was given six months in jail for indecent exposure and "open profanity."

Oh, Justin. In 2014, a 19-year-old Biebs was arrested in Miami Beach for street drag racing in a yellow Lamborghini -- and failing a sobriety test. Justin was charged with DUI, resisting arrest, and driving with a suspended license.

Lauryn Hill

In 2013, Fugees founding member Lauryn Hill was sentenced to three months in prison and three months under house arrest for her failure to pay taxes on about $1 million in earnings. Insisting she always meant to pay up, Hill said during her hearing "I needed to be able to earn so I could pay my taxes, without compromising the health and welfare of my children, and I was being denied that."
