Elvis Presley
This is not a real mugshot! A lot of people think it's real and spread it around as "iconic" because the King was in his classic get-up.

Martin Luther King Jr.
Civil Rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. was arrested in 1956 in Montgomery, Alabama. He was participating in the Rosa Parks-inspired bus boycott in a protest against segregation. This arrest didn't smear his record, though, and he eventually won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964.
