Carrying a concealed weapon.


He was NOT jailed in Miami Beach. It was Philadelphia in 1929 -- and he had himself jailed there to escape from the Chicago mobsters who wanted revenge for the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre. He had lavish quarters in prison, and used the Warden's phone whenever he wanted.

On May 17, 1929, Al Capone and his bodyguard were arrested in Philadelphia for carrying concealed deadly weapons. Within 16 hours they had been sentenced to terms of one year each. Capone served his time and was released in nine months for good behavior on March 17, 1930.
