 St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture: James Brown
Brown is also a charter member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and has won numerous awards for his recordings.
Despite these professional successes, Brown is notorious for his "bad-boy" reputation stemming from several run-ins with the law over the years; he served prison time as a youth for theft and later for resisting arrest and traffic violations.
Mired in poverty, Brown began resorting to petty theft for his personal wardrobe, then began stealing automobile parts, for which he was arrested and sentenced to 8-to-18 years in the penitentiary, and later transferred to the Georgia Juvenile Training Institute.
