(38,058 posts)27. Most Arrested Celebrities
#1, Martin Sheen
Total Arrests: 66
Rap Sheet: The actor famous for a slew of roles including President Bartlet on The West Wing and Captain Willard in Apocalypse Now has another claim to fame: the Hollywood celebrity with the most arrests. He admitted in 2009 to being put in handcuffs a whopping 66 times. Of course, his crime of choice happens to be protest; his most recent arrest in 2007 was for trespassing on a Nevada nuclear test facility. His first arrest dates back to 1986 when he was pinched for civil disobedience while protesting Ronald Reagan's "star wars" initiative.
