A man wanted by Ohio police sent authorities a selfie
because he was unhappy with the mugshot being circulated on his arrest
warant. Donald Pugh says the unflattering mugshot made him look "like I
was a Thundercat"
Donald "Chip" Pugh was wanted for a failure to appear in several
cases including arson and vandalism, according to Lima Police
Department. In a post on its Facebook page, Lima Police urged people to
contact them if they spotted Pugh - along with an 'unflattering' mugshot
of the 45-year-old
Pugh then sent an image of himself sitting in a car wearing
sunglasses, with the comment:
The fugitive even carried out an interview with Ohio radio
station The Eagle, in which he claimed Lima Police "just did me wrong".
He said: "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."
Lima Police responded to the photo, adding: "We thank (Pugh)
for being helpful, but now we would appreciate it if he would come
speak to us at the (police station) about his charges". So far Pugh has not been caught.
