 Mark Leslie Norton a.k.a Mark St. John, was a guitarist known for a brief stint with the band KISS in 1984 who then went on to form his own band, White Tiger.
   
 In 2006, St. John had been arrested and put in jail for 2 weeks for possession of drug paraphernalia & another charge for trying to destroy evidence. He was heavily beaten in jail by inmates. Once released from jail, friends and family stated he was never the same after that experience. He frequently suffered from headaches and body aches.
