In October 1978, Tim Allen, 25 at the time, was arrested by an undercover cop at the Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International Airport. Allen and a partner were caught with over 650 grams of cocaine and subsequently arrested on the scene.

Tim Allen pled guilty to the drug trafficking charges. He faced up to a life sentence in prison, but provided the names of the other dealers in the scheme in exchange for a reduced sentence of three to seven years in prison.

In total, Tim Allen spent two years and four months in a Sandstone, Minnesota prison. He was paroled in 1981.

On May 24, 1997, he was arrested in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, for drunk driving. In 1998, he entered rehab for alcohol abuse after being charged with a DUI. He has been sober since.

Tim Allen turned his life around, and went on to become a beloved household name. Allen has said of his time in prison, “it was a watershed moment. It put me in a position of great humility, and I was able to make amends to friends and family and refocus my life on setting and achieving goals.”
