Fugitive Who Sent Ohio Police New Mugshot Re-Arrested In Florida

  • by: Alan Duke

Donald Pugh became a internet thing this week because he sent a selfie to police because he didn't like the mugshot of him they were using. "Here's a better photo, that one is terrible," he tweeted in a post that tagged the Lima, Ohio, police who were searching for him for failing to appear in court on a criminal case.

While Lima police replied that they would stick with the photo he does not like, they now have another official mugshot of a smiling Pugh courtesy of the Escambia County, Florida, Sheriff's Office. Pugh's social media fame apparently led to his arrest in Florida Tuesday morning.

"Maybe that selfie helped people identify you better?" the Escambia County Sheriff joked in a Facebook post.
