MUG SHOTS: Music

Notorious B.I.G.

Following a concert in Pennsylvania in June 1995, Notorious B.I.G. was arrested on an outstanding warrant charging him with assaulting and robbing a male victim in Camden, New Jersey earlier that year. The rapper (real name: Christopher Wallace) was booked into the Delaware County jail, where he was photographed in front of a height chart.

In connection with the same case, Wallace, who also used the Biggie Smalls moniker, posed for a mug shot taken by the Camden County Sheriff’s Office. Wallace, who was 23 at the time, was snapped wearing a Mecca USA jersey.

Wallace was killed in a drive-by shooting in Los Angeles in March 1997. The homicide remains unsolved.
