I don’t know if they still have it on their site, but one of the main regional news sites used to have a section of their site devoted to posting peoples’ mugshots. It was one of their highest traffic pages/sections, too.

I found out about it after my dad jokingly mentioned that my uncle made the news and then sent me a link. It was a slideshow with hundreds of peoples’ arrest photos along with name, age, where they were arrested, and a brief description of what they were arrested for.

My uncle was on there because he was charged with “terroristic threats” or something along that line, it’s been a while. Apparently someone called the cops on him. He was drunk when they arrived and acting belligerent, granted he was always drunk and belligerent. At some point, he put his finger over his lips and shushed the cops.

The police officers claim he was doing a hand sign of a gun and that he actually pretended to shoot at them and the “shushing” was actually him blowing the smoke away from the barrel of his hand gun.

Anyway, the charges were dropped, but that arrest photo of him stayed up on that news website for a very long time after.
