Suspect Provides a Better Mugshot

By Queuebot in Everything Else on Nov 10, 2009 at 11:50 pm

Matthew Maynard of Swansea, UK thought he could make himself look a bit better in the newspaper. At least better than the police mugshot that was printed, along with seven other people who police were looking for regarding a burglary. So the 23-year-old suspect took a picture with his cell phone and sent it to the newspaper office, requesting they use it instead of the police mug shot!

Police declined to comment on the provocative picture, taken on Mr Maynard’s mobile phone and texted to the newspaper offices, but said that their recent drive to catch criminals was working.

    “and send it”. Please correct to “and sent it”.

    …drive to catch /dumb/ criminals…, Shirley?

    The bright ones don’t get caught – the really bright ones don’t even let their crimes be discovered.

    Well at least it’s a decent -be it a bit narcistic- lad that he sends the newspaper a decent picture of himself …! :lol:
