Jane Fonda’s first arrest in 1970
Jane Fonda’s first arrest was in 1970. The actress traveled across Canada to give lectures to discuss the Winter Soldier Investigation, while also looking for military personnel to share their experiences in the Vietnam War to demonstrate the atrocities.
When she returned to the United States, Fonda, who donated all the money she received to speak in public, donated was detained at Cleveland airport, authorities said the actress had drugs in her luggage.
The actress explained that the pills, which came in small plastic envelopes, were vitamins, but were still charged with possession and smuggling of illegal substances.
“I told them what they were, but they said they were taking orders from the White House, that would be the Nixon White House,” Jane recalled. She believes the High Command hoped this scandal would take away the credibility of what he could say and that the speeches would be canceled. They took her to Cleveland jail, booked her, and took her iconic mugshot.
Ultimately, Jane’s charges were dropped and her unjust arrest served only to bolster her fight, as before that, her audience reached just 2,000 people and had up to 10,000 viewers.
