FANS CAMPAIGN FOR CASH PARDON

Fans of country legend JOHNNY CASH are campaigning for the star to be pardoned for a 1965 arrest for drunkenness.

JOHNNY CASH

The A Boy Named Sue star is set to be honoured at a festival in Starkville, Mississippi, in November (07), and locals are hoping city officials will crown the event by wiping the late singer's record clean.

Cash was arrested in the city 42 years ago as he was leaving a party. He later penned a song about his run-in with the law, documenting his experience on the track Starkville City Jail.

Cash died in September 2003 after suffering complications from diabetes.
