Billy Hayes was arrested and jailed for trying to smuggle 4½ pounds of hashish out of Turkey in 1970. Caught at the airport as he was about to board his US bound plane, he spent five years in jail in Turkey. He escaped from prison and upon his return to the US wrote a book titled Midnight Express, which Oliver Stone turned into a movie.
