A man sent in a better selfie to police after finding a wanted ad posted by his local authorities with less than flattering mugshots. Donald Pugh saw the post with his mugshot and then made a request to police over Facebook to change the picture. He also spoke to detectives on the phone about it.
Pugh provided the Lima Police Department with a new picture. “He said he didn’t like the two photographs that we used,” said a spokesperson for the LPD.
“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.”
LPD said they posted the mugshot, like they do with any other, using social media to get tips or encourage the person to come forward.
Pugh has two “failure to appear” charges and is a person of interest in another investigation, KUTV reported.
“Because he chose to send us the photo – the internet folks thought that was humorous,” Lima police said.
“He’s not ‘El Chapo,’ he’s just a random dude in Lima that we have warrants on.”
He has yet to turn himself in.
