The Timothy Leary arrest file was created by the Laguna Beach Police Department after Leary's 1968 arrest for possession of marijuana in Orange County, California. He was arrested with his wife, Rosemary Leary, and son John Leary. The file dates from 1968 to 1977 and contains a suspect information report on Leary; a pre-sentence report by a probation officer; Orange County prosecutor Ed Freeman's notes on the "continuing development of the case against the BEL [Brotherhood of Eternal Love] and Timothy Leary"; and news clippings.
