I'm curious (and a cursory web search reveals no answers) why was Nelson Algren arrested in 1967?
Studs Terkel just says "he was arrested a couple of times."(Although later he says "he couldn't get arrested.")
Algren and two other men were arrested for narcotics possession. Police searched the car they were in and found a small quantity of marijuana. A Chicago judge ruled the search "unreasonable" and dismissed the charges.
Thanks, TO'C.You can read more about it in Algren's The Last Carousel.
