I snuck into peoples houses and move all of their stuff into barrels.

I'm going with my characters uncontrollable lycanthropy caused him to shift and eat some innocent people. Though thats kind of dependant on werewolfism being an option in the game. If it is I'll just ignore the fact that I don't actually start out as a werewolf.

Skooma

Probably 'cause I got involved with a robbery scheme that ended badly, and my feet just didn't move fast enough/I got double-crossed. Either way it goes, the escape from the gallows is something I've wanted to do since Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. xD

I picked up a crumbled up piece of a paper thinking it was a note I could read, my companion immediately started yelling "THIEF!!". The guards descended upon me before I could explain that I was only picking it up to read what was scrawled upon it and I was then arrested. It was in that moment they then realized that I had killed one of their own during a melee with a Black Bear. I told them it wasn't my fault, he walked directly in front of my cut. My logic turned to pleas which turned to begs but to no avail. They saw what they saw and off to see the King's Justice I went.

My character Grius suffers from multipersonnality disorder.

Every couple of weeks he goes on a freak rampage, which is why he tries to stay away from civilization. He also suffers from a compulsive disorder which leads to him deciding to steal stuff. That's why he's been to prison over 20 times.

updated list

My Char is in prison because Todd says so

im in hiding from a clan of vampires whose leader i killed and they are after revenge. prison is off the grid so a good place to be forgotten for a while

Because bethesda made it so...

My Nord was put in jail because of a crime committed that he was framed for or possibly that they had mistaken him for the criminal. He doesn't know but he wants to get out jail or prove himself innocent.

My Argonian was hunting in the woods when his bow slipped from his hands and the arrow accidentally hit his friend. While his friend was not dead he could not speak up for my Argonian to say that it was an accident when he was sentenced to prison.

Both of these people are good as I don't usually play a bad character for a long time.

I was "corrupted" by a house of Hlaluu alchemist....

Ararvyn Giralvel is in jail, simply because he is a Dunmer.

Or so he believes...

The real reason, behind his imprisonment, is because of the assault of an Argonian; who taunted him of Morrowind.

My character shot the sheriff, but he didn't shoot no deputy. They tried to track him down, said they wanted to bring him in guilty for the killing of a deputy, for the life of a deputy.

My character stole a scroll with dragonic inscriptions on it from the arcane university. He headed to skyrim after hearing about the return of dragons, hoping to learn more about this strange scroll. When he arrived at the Skyrim/Cyrodill border, he was arrested for stealing the university's property.

I ate too many beans at the Queen's dinner. Afterwards, with the queen....well let's just say she doesn't like the Dutch oven treatment :sadvaultboy:

I'm a cat; too many dog lovers out there

Declared that being able to teleport at well between points was an acceptable form of travel, and would be a boost to the economy since it would allow consumers to pop in and out of stores at a greater ratr
