Beatle George Harrison's House In Drugs Raid | The
police, led by a Sergeant Pilcher (who was apparently jailed in 1972 for planting
drugs), ransacked Harrison's house looking for drugs. Reportedly
Harrison, told police: "You
needn't have turned the whole bloody place upside down. All you had to do was
ask me and I would have shown you where I keep everything." Harrison
and his wife were able to convince the court that the hash was for their own personal
use and were fined £250. |

Harrison was unable to attend the event (see above) which was watched by hundreds
of well wishers outside Marylebone Register Office. McCartney, 26, was the last

America. |
