Wilson Pickett [SEP] Legal problems and drug abuse
Pickett's struggle with alcoholism and cocaine addiction led to run-ins with the law. In 1991, Pickett was arrested for yelling threats while drunkenly driving his car over the front lawn of Donald Aronson, the mayor of Englewood, New Jersey. He faced charges of drunk driving, refusing to take a breath test, and resisting arrest. Pickett agreed to perform a benefit concert in exchange for having the disorderly conduct and property damage charges dropped. He would perform as his community service. In 1992, Pickett struck an 86-year-old pedestrian, Pepe Ruiz, with his car in Englewood. Police allegedly found six empty miniature vodka bottles and six empty beer cans in his car.
