Was Bill Gates arrested when he was younger?

I've seen a few photos online of a much younger Bill Gates, back in the 1970s when he was just getting Microsoft started, in a mugshot apparently taken at a police station/jail. Was Gates busted for something in the 1970s?

Yes, but I believe it was just a DUI or something like that.

Unless it was something heinous like rape, murder or child molestation, who cares?

Yes, he was charged with rape, murder, arson and rape.

It's just kind of hilarious that the world's wealthiest man ever once had to pose for a mug shot like a common criminal.

What, he raped the corpse again after burning it? How awful!!

As opposed to how many of the world's wealthiest men are criminals who have never been arrested.

No, you're supposed to say "You said rape twice," so that I can say "I like rape."

The worst part is I knew that.

I don't know if it's the worst part. It's a classic bit from Blazing Saddles. It's not like it's a bit from, oh, say, Dracula: Dead and Loving It.
