May 3, 1969, and the Royal Mounted Police expose three big H’s: heroin, hash, and Hendrix.
A suspect bottle at an airport security checkpoint was all it took for 26-year-old Jimi Hendrix to be arrested and bonded on bail to the tune of $10,000 - just in time to play a sold out show at Toronto’s Maple Leaf Gardens.
More to come.
