Does a viral mugshot show a woman who was arrested for gluing her husband's butt cheeks together? No, that's not true: The mugshot is of a woman arrested for starting a fire in a home where two people were inside. The arrest happened in Fairfield Township in the greater Cincinnati area. There are no credible news reports of a woman being arrested for gluing her husband's butt cheeks together.
The claim appeared in a June 17, 2026, post by the @Theveripost account on X (archived here). It opened:

A reverse image search of the mugshot matched a story about an arrested woman identified as April Caldwell and "charged with aggravated arson for starting a fire in a home where two people were inside," according to Local 12 News (archived here). The mugshot published in the article matches the woman in the X post:
