In 1985, David Crosby went on the run from the FBI. He eventually surrendered barefoot

In 1985, David Crosby and his girlfriend, Jan Dance, fled California after he missed a Texas court date and became a fugitive wanted by the FBI. Facing prison for a 1983 drug and weapons case, Crosby hoped to sail to Costa Rica, where he believed he would be beyond US extradition.

Crosby and Dance travelled in disguise to Florida by private plane to meet his old schooner, The Mayan, and its captain, Robbie Smith. The boat was not ready to sail, so their escape plan failed; according to the article’s headline, Crosby eventually surrendered barefoot. His flight followed several arrests, including charges involving drugs, weapons, drink-driving and a hit-and-run.
