What We Know About Jane Fonda's Arrest Record

Jane Fonda did not end up risking arrest for all 14 of the Fire Drill Friday demonstrations. She told The Hollywood Reporter that, if she was arrested after being given three warnings, she would be held for 90 days, which would interfere with getting ready for "Grace and Frankie" in January. The Fire Drill Friday organizers also agreed it was best to keep Fonda out of jail so that she could regularly lead the demonstrations, according to Deadline. Therefore, Fonda's fifth and final arrest came December 20, 2019, the day before her 82nd birthday. The crowd sang "Happy Birthday" to her as she was being led away, The Washington Post reported.

After Fonda's Fire Drill Friday's concluded in the nation's Capitol in January of 2020, the actress brought the tradition with her when she returned to Los Angeles, holding a demonstration at LA City Hall February 7, 2020, according to Los Angeles Magazine. Just like her 1970 mugshot, Fonda's D.C. arrests left behind an iconic look. For every protest, Fonda had donned the same red Neiman Marcus coat and, sometimes, a black beret, according to Mashable. The coat, beret, and handcuffs even became a Halloween costume during 2019, she told The Hollywood Reporter. Fonda bought the coat for $500 because the Fire Drill Fridays team decided everyone should wear red, and she didn't own red clothing. Fonda, who is trying to reduce her consumption, said it was the last piece of clothing she would ever buy.
