When you don’t follow the law and the authorities, then you can expect yourself to be dragged to the police station for some explaining, and if not lucky, you’d be put to jail. When you get your mugshot, you don’t always get a chance to prepare…
There is no time to look good if a mugshot must be taken by the police. You can see people with bruises, black eyes, and distorted faces. Often, mugshots tell quite a story!
But there are mugshots of people that made rounds on social media because they look creepy or weird. Others were wearing a costume. Some have really dirty faces and funny makeup. You may be confused as to why exactly they got arrested. Other times…all it takes is a look into their eyes to see what their particular infringement was. Of course, there are definitely times when they are just keen to not take it seriously at all.
Here is a slideshow of some of the most outrageous mugshots on the internet. Enjoy.
This is the worst possible shirt to wear on a day when you get arrested. In fact, you’re probably more likely to get arrested if you are wearing this shirt, don’t you think?
Is it a surprise to any of us that this guy was arrested in Florida? We don’t know what his crime was, but I feel pretty confident guessing his thoughts on his country. Come to think of it, I can also guess his opinion of face tattoos.
Sure, the first thing you notice about this guy is his teeth, but I also really want to know the story behind the hairnet. Does he work in a cafeteria? Is it to protect his curls while he sleeps? We may never know.
Either this guy was caught huffing paint or he was arrested at a Halloween party while dressed at the tin man. Either way, he seems pretty stoked about it.
I don’t know what is going on in this picture or what this woman was getting arrested for, but that expression is just…actually, I have no words beyond, “What the heck?”
This doesn’t seem like the best shirt to wear if there is even the slightest chance you might get in trouble with the law. Judging by his expression, he may have been imbibing himself.
Maybe this guy is trying to make up for the fact that there’s no hair on his head by plastering it all to his chin. Hope he didn’t get arrested on a full moon.
Maybe this guy was arrested in the middle of a haircut. I can’t imagine why else he would have only half his face shaved unless it’s a REALLY bad fashion statement.
Once you land in jail, you’ve basically already made your first impression. But you still have the chance to make a more lasting one. For example, this guy fell asleep while holding his sign stating he was arrested for driving while intoxicated.
This guy might be wearing a “mask” (sort of) but unfortunately, it doesn’t do much to protect his identity. If anything, it does the exact opposite. He’ll be easy to spot in a crowd.
Speaking as a lady, I’m here to tell you: no, we do not. In fact, it’s kind of scary. You could pay for tattoo removal or just grow a real mustache over that thing.
I get it, posing for a mugshot can be awkward. You might not know exactly what face to make. You might not want to smile, right? So, how about a pirate impression?
Did this guy go out that day EXPECTING to get arrested? Or was it just pure chance that he was wearing a shirt with his previous mugshot when he next tangled with the police?
Isn’t it fun to live in a time when you can do your hair however you want as a way of expressing your creativity? Just don’t abuse it like this guy who decided to give himself some bizarre pigtails.
I have a lot of questions about what the heck is all over this guy’s face, but unfortunately, no answers are forthcoming. I’m just going to guess he was in costume because it’s the least disturbing option.
Do you want to immediately strike fear into the hearts of every person in prison? Make this terrifying face. It also helps if your hair is shaved like a clown’s.
19. “Sir, please stop singing for just one second”
Apparently, this guy was arrested for suspicious behavior at a dollar store, which included creeping out female customers. So ..he’s got a lot going on.
To be honest, I don’t know what’s going on here, but it does kind of look like he has sprinkles all over his chin. Arrested for overly zealous cupcake eating?
Micah Musser was 18 when he was arrested on trespassing charges, but we somehow doubt that he did it on his own. His neck is absolutely covered with hickeys, and I’m assuming they’re not from a vacuum cleaner.
This guy’s hair looks almost unreal, and we can’t help but notice that it looks like a bunch of little snakes. Percy Jackson, move over — we’ve found the heir of Medusa.
No one knows the full story of why this guy insisted on his pet macaw, Baby, appear with him in his mugshot. The only logical conclusion is that the bird was an accomplice.
25. When you get arrested in the middle of your haircut
This man couldn’t decide between a close-cropped style and some flowing, curly locks, so he decided to go for both styles in the weirdest way possible.
This woman was arrested on charges of blocking traffic, chasing children, and threatening a police officer…all while wearing this cow costume. My only question is…um, why?
A lot is going on with this person from the jewelry to the makeup to the tattoos. But the really unsettling part is those black eyes, courtesy of some terrifying contacts or the horrific trend of tattooing the eyes.
This lady was arrested at her wedding and opted not to remove her bridal gear before taking her mugshot. She did get to say her vows before the cops showed up, though.
This guy was arrested in West Virginia for huffing paint, which didn’t exactly come off in time for him to pose for his mugshot. I’d say that’s some pretty conclusive evidence unless he has a REALLY good explanation.
This lady was arrested a few years back and gained attention for her crazy hair. Thankfully, she’s now turned her life around and works in law enforcement.
You’d think that when you were brought into jail, you would want to be on your best behavior. This guy doesn’t ascribe to that theory. Instead, he decided to be as creepy as possible.
William Bottoms Jr. is serving time after being convicted of two murders in the second degree. But his appearance is so distinct, his lawyer asked the jury if it affected their decision.
This woman was arrested after she got into an altercation with another person and reportedly poured hot grease on them. Unfortunately, she lost some eyelashes in the process.
Angelo Martinez’s mugshot looks absolutely brutal. His crime? Trying to jack a car, which unfortunately was filled with football players. They promptly beat him to a pulp and called the police.
Brandy Lerma was arrested on charges of driving while intoxicated with an unsecured child in the car. Lerma decided to go with this face for her mugshot.
Meet Kevin Gibson, the man who’s gone viral twice for two distinct mugshots. Each one features a similar hairstyle, or rather two hairstyles, with half a beard and half a head of hair.
