Question
Hi Carmen! I was wondering if you knew which characters in all 10 years of the show have been arrested? I'm a HUGE Brenda fan so I know she was arrested. I know Brandon and Valerie were arrested too. Has anyone else been arrested? I remember seeing a clip of Dylan and I think it's Gina being arrested. What were they arrested for? Have Kelly or Steve ever been arrested? Thank you for your help and sorry to be a pain.

Answer
Hi Kylie,
Lots of the 90210 gang was arrested thruout the seasons:
1. Brandon:
-drunk driving (season 1), spent the night in jail and lost license for awhile
-drug possession (season 5), gets caught with pot in Val's car when he's in Palm Springs, charges dropped
-auto theft (season 7), an electric car taken for test drive mistakenly reported as stolen, charges dropped
-obstructing justice with Dylan's sister's prostitution pimp (season 8), found another way to get the pimp arrested so his charges were dropped

2. Brenda: animal rights lab break-in (season 4), spent the night in jail but the charges were dropped

3. David:
-auto theft (season 7), a car taken for a test drive w/Brandon and Steve is mistakenly reported as stolen, charges dropped
-illegal discharge of a firearm (season 8) when he is upset over his breakup with Val and being mugged at the ATM/he accidentally shoots Noah's friend in the arm

4. Valerie: bookmaking/gambling (season 8), gets community service and works at Kelly's clinic

5. Gina: drug possession (season 10), helps cops find real drug dealer so charges are dropped

6. Noah (had several brushes with the law):
-arrested for rape and drugging Val (season 8), found guilty in civil court but later exonerated when they find out his brother is the true rapist/druggie
-arrested for drunk driving, open container (season 9) when he gets drunk and drives soon after his dad commits suicide, gets huge fine
-arrested for bookmaking with Val (season 8), loses liquor license for a week
-arrested for after hours/strip club at After Dark (season 10), criminal charges dropped and given a huge fine

7. Kelly: arrested for murder, unregistered gun (season 9/10) when she shoots her rapist, killing was self-defense so charges dropped

8. Donna: arrested for prostitution when Noah and Gina had strippers work at the After Dark (season 10), charges dropped

9. Dylan (lots of contact w/police):
-driving under the influence (season 5) when he crashes his car following the drug intervention, got probation and lost license for awhile
-breaking and entering w/a gun & drugs (season 9) when he tries to confront Anthony Marchette, the man who killed his wife Toni, unaware that Marchette is dead
-Drug possession (season 10), gets caught in a limo w/cocaine that is not his, charges dropped when he helps police find the drug dealer

10. Steve: suspected of stealing a car (season 7) when he takes an electric car on a test drive with Brandon and David, a disgruntled employee allowed them to take the car so the charges were quickly dropped

To my knowledge, only Andrea was never arrested or had any brushes with the law.
Hope this helps,
Carmen
