John Lennon and Yoko Ono Arrested

October 18, 2019

On October 18th, 1968, John Lennon and Yoko Ono were arrested for marijuana possession at their home near Montagu Square in London, England. Just days earlier, Yoko Ono announced that she was pregnant, creating a scandal because both Lennon and Ono were still married to other people.

Drug-sniffing dogs found 200 grams of hashish, a cigarette rolling machine with traces of marijuana, and half a gram of morphine in their home. In the end, Lennon was fined £150 and given a warning.
