Is the caviat in your sentence "only arrest he had recently". I don't reall think that applies when the charge you had been arresed for you could have gotten a life sentence. No matter what, you preach your high and mighty then take the name of a drug dealer.
Either you're to dumb to do a google search, or you are trying to slant the truth. Not that I would expect anything different from someone who has an agenda! You are just like the people this thread is about. People who only tell part of the story!

On 2 October 1978, Tim Allen Dick was arrested in Detroit for possession of a pound and a half of cocaine. Under Michigan law, he could have been sentenced to life in prison. Instead he turned state's evidence -- the legal term for ratting on your cohorts. Allen reportedly fingered at least 21 co-conspirators, and in exchange, he was sentenced to just five years under the more lenient (at that time) federal law. He was paroled after 2½ years, and after dropping his last name, he has become one of America's most successful ex-cons gone legit.
He started doing stand-up on a dare, and honed his "lovable loser with tools" persona after it went over well with a crowd of Goodyear Tire workers. His hit sitcom Home Improvement was built around this stage character, and of course, Allen now has his own line of power tools.
He was arrested for drunk driving in 1997, after he nearly fell over and couldn't count backwards during a roadside sobriety check. The arrest effectively brings Allen's life story full-circle: A drunk driver killed his father when Allen was 11.
