All Aboard the Crazy Train With Ozzy Osbourne

He Was Arrested for Burglary

In 1948, John Michael “Ozzy” Osbourne was born in Birmingham, England. When he was 15, Osbourne left school and had many different odd jobs: such as, construction site worker, trainee plumber, car factory horn-tuner, and apprentice toolmaker. However, he soon got into trouble with the law for the first time.

Osbourne dabbled in crime around that time and got caught burgling a clothing shop. He ended up spending six weeks in Winson Green Prison when he was unable to pay the fine. Instead of helping his son out, Osbourne’s father refused to pay the fine. We guess he didn’t learn his lesson.
