The Greatest Mug Shots of All Time

Related: Funny, mug shots, MugShots, News

By Cory Jones May 14, 2012

  • 1 of 57

    Mugs shots are usually a low point in a person's life. They've just been arrested. They're getting ready to go to jail. They're going to either lose their freedom or a lot of money. Between the lawyers and bail bondsmen, your future is very, very crappy.

    That's what makes this list of the greatest and craziest mug shots of all time so fun to look at.

    2. Were you wearing a hat while you were outside all day?

    Yes, this is real. Terrifying, but real. He answers to the name "Halfy" and he acquired his half head when he smashed into a pole while drinking and driving. For more on Halfy, check out an interview with him here.

    The problem with getting one face tattoo is that it stops you from getting a job, which means you have no money, which also means the rest of your face tattoos are going to be of really poor quality.
