An Albuquerque PD mugshot of Bill Gates is at <http://www.apbnews.com/media/gfiles/mugshots/bgates.html>. (Thanks to Jeff St Clair for pointing this out.) The associated article says:


>Exactly why Microsoft mogul Bill Gates was arrested has never been
>made clear. The records manager at the Albuquerque Police Department
>said that after a thorough search no arrest record was found in
>connection with this mug shot. Microsoft spokeswoman Kimberly
>Kuresman said that Gates recalls being taken in for running a red
>light and driving without a license. "It is well-known that when
>Bill was young he didn't have a very good driving record," she said.
>Indeed, the Albuquerque Police have two additional records that back
>up Kuresman's statement. The first, dated September 29, 1975, has
>Gates speeding as well as driving without a license. In the other
>report Gates was hit by another driver who failed to obey a stop
>sign.
