What is the first celebrity to go jail?

Fatty Arbuckle was the first celebrity to go to jail. Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle was a famous silent film star who was accused of raping and murdering Virginia Rappe in 1921. Arbuckle was acquitted of the murder charge but was convicted of manslaughter. He served 10 months in jail before being released on appeal. The scandal ruined Arbuckle's career, and he never starred in another major motion picture.
