Ultimate Behind-the-Scene Look At Steve McQueen, King Of Cool

Steve McQueen Thrown in the Slammer

For all the reports of Steve McQueen’s volatile and aggressive behavior, you’d likely believe that he would have an extensive history of arrest, particularly after his criminal behavior when he was a boy. He also was a wife-beater, and even appeared bent on trying to kill his first wife when she had one affair.

He also loved to party and use drugs, so those could have been other possible reasons for arrest, but his arrest in Anchorage, Alaska didn’t stem from any of that controversial behavior, at least not directly. The drinking did catch up with him in that he was arrested and charged with drunk driving and reckless driving.
