Twiggs Lyndon, a former road manager for the Allman Brothers Band, was arrested on murder charges on April 30, 1970. Lyndon had become enraged at a club owner in Buffalo, New York, who refused to pay the band and allegedly stabbed him three times with a fishing knife. The band had reportedly turned up fifteen minutes late to the club and, when the venue’s owner refused to pay them, things got violent. Twiggs was arrested and the band moved on with their tour, heading to Cleveland, Ohio. During the trial, Lyndon’s defense team made the argument that he had suffered from temporary insanity from the stress of living on the road with the Allman Brothers Band. As part of the defense, the lawyers called band member Berry Oakley to the witness stand. The trial was put on hold, however, as Oakley repeatedly ran to the bathroom to vomit. After Oakley admitted he had used drugs just hours before taking the stand, the jury ruled that Lyndon was indeed living in maddening conditions and acquitted him.
