Why selfies are important


Donald “Chip” Pugh, 45 is on the run from the Lima (Ohio) police, for failure to appear. He is also a person of interest in separate arson & vandalism cases. Police have sent out alerts, but Chip feels that the mug shots included don’t do him justice.

When interviewed on Classic Rock 104.9 (Lima OH), Chip alleged, “They did me wrong, man. They put a picture out that had me looking like I was a Thundercat or somebody man. Like James Brown on the run.”1

So he sent the police a more flattering selfie. Lima (Ohio) police, in the spirit of fair play, agreed to add the photograph supplied by Chip to future alerts.

Justice served.
