April 13, 1982 was not a Friday, but it was a pretty unlucky day for former Byrd, and member of Crosby, Stills, Nash (and sometimes Young), David Crosby. The singer was arrested in his dressing room at Cardi's, a nightclub in Dallas Texas. Police had found cocaine and a gun on Crosby.
Throughout the years, Crosby had had a great deal of success in many different bands, although it wasn't without it's issues. But the major drug problems didn't start for him until his girlfriend tragically passed away.
Unfortunately, Crosby's problems continued after this arrest, he was sentenced to five years in jail in 1983 for another drug charge, but began to work on his addiction.
