✅ True. The mug shot is real and was not faked. Actor Tim Allen was arrested for dealing cocaine in 1978. He once said of the arrest, 'Getting caught probably saved my life.'
Courtesy: Kalamazoo County Sheriff’s OfficeAccording to a 1996 article from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, he said of the arrest: “Getting caught probably saved my life.” The newspaper also published his 1978 mug shot:Allen and asked about the incident. He had been “busted for selling cocaine to an undercover policeman” at the Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International Airport in Michigan. He had on him more than 650 grams of cocaine.
“Basically, I pleaded guilty. I knew what I did was wrong,” Allen said. “I did not drag it out in a trial. I knew I made a major mistake. I laid down. Punish me.” In the eight months prior to his sentencing, Allen set out to establish responsibility before the eyes of the court by doing stand-up comedy in a Detroit club, the Comedy Castle–and he was a smash. Because Allen was a seemingly good kid from a good family in Birmingham, Mich., his family hoped he would be let off easy.“When I got out, I was angry, because nothing had changed,” said Allen, who wrote the comedy club owner while he was in prison so he would have a place to work after his release.
The Times also said that Allen’s stint in prison led to his rise to “celebrate and satirize manhood — without demeaning women.” The new outlook was said to have led to the inspiration for the ABC network sitcom, “Home Improvement.”
