In those days blacks really didn't have criminal records per say. And certainly there weren't criminal records like today. She had been arrested a few times but that was very common in black society in that day. I don't ever remember seeing any arrest records of Bessie's. Just wasn't something white people did very much in those days. Arresting a black person just wasn't headline news. Her niece had her arrested once for beating her up. And bail was high for blacks! On purpose so they couldn't get out. Bessie being arrested by Ruby was how Eggie ran off with all the money from one of her shows.
