I do believe documented articles.   What  is hard to believe about this?      Fleeing marijuana possession charges, Ken Kesey  hid from the FBI … in Marijuana City, Mexico.    In March of 1966, to get out of jail time, Kesey faked his own suicide and fled to Mexico, possibly Puerto Vallarta.  8 months after Kesey fled the country the FBI arrested him.  Kesey was sentenced to 6 months in jail.   Go here:  https://www.muckrock.com/news/archives/2017/oct/06/fbi-ken-kesey/

Scroll down to the FBI complete  arrest warrant and Fugitive  Documentation. What do YOU not Understand about  Documentation, Criminal on the run and a Fugitive, Breaking the Laws?????  

I do have respect  for his dad Fred as the Kesey  family had  a different story - Kesey’s dad, Fred Kesey, told the FBI  that he would do anything to get his son turned in so he might be “straightened out.”  

YOU stated, "I have a hard time calling getting caught where someone else had pot criminal behavior".   YOU are in DENIAL....
