When the Lima Police Department in Ohio, USA posted an unflattering
mugshot of Donald “Chip” Pugh, who is wanted for a failure to appear in
several cases including arson and vandalism, on Facebook, he sent them a private message with a selfie, showing off his better side.
He wrote: “Here is a better photo that one is terrible.” The LPD
obliged, posting the new photo with the status: “This photo was sent to
us by Mr Pugh himself. We thank him for being helpful, but now we would
appreciate it if he would come speak to us at the LPD about his
charges.”
He may have had a point because some people on Facebook compared the
original photo to Carlton from the Fresh Prince. Ever concerned with his
public image, Chip also did an interview with the local radio station
104.9 The Eagle.
In the interview, he said: “Man, they just did me wrong. They put a
picture out that made me look like I was a Thundercat… or James Brown on
the run. I can’t do that.”
