Age 23
Details: Investigators began looking into Woods following a 2014 television report that alleged his pet pit bull was abandoned and covered in serious bite wounds.

Barnes, Matt
Charge: Driving on a suspended license, threatening a police officer
Arrest Date: July 30, 2012
Franchise: Los Angeles Lakers
Age 31
Details: Barnes’ second career arrest started innocuously enough when he was arrested for an outstanding traffic citation, but quickly escalated to a felony when he threatened a police officer. His demonic smile makes for one of the better mugshots – much better than his low-key mugshot following a domestic violence arrest in 2010.
