A Woman Was Arrested For Wrapping Her Car To Look Like A Cop
A 28-year-old woman in Florida was arrested this week for transforming her Dodge Charger to make it look like a COP CAR.
The woman worked as a security guard and dressed her Charger up just like a Florida State Trooper patrol vehicle.
It was wrapped in the same black and bronze color scheme. She even put a light bar on top. The only difference was the decals on the side. Instead of the FST logo the decal read “FSO Guard” with a badge that looked like a police shield. You can see a picture of her car below.
She said she did it because she “fell in love with the color scheme.”

10 Celebrity Mug Shots That Are Now Iconic
The modern mug shot was invented in 1888, and famous portraits have been coming out ever since. From the days of the Wild West to today, mug shots have shown the faces of arrested citizens and celebrities, alike. For some celebrities, it’s hard to hide from the past when their mug shot is iconic.
The original purpose of a mug shot was to give law enforcement a photographic record of arrested individuals. While still used for that today, it’s become a common thing to end up seeing some of these celebrity mug shots on t-shirts and monetized in some way.

Mug shots go on to become iconic for a number of reasons. These reasons vary, and are rarely ever for a good reason. Sometimes it’s for the story behind the arrest. However, most of the time it seems like these pictures end up going viral because of how the individual looks in the picture.
When you hear the phrase ‘celebrity mug shot,’ who do you think of? Is there one specific example that comes to mind? There have been several over the hundreds of years of their existence that have stuck out, for one reason or another. Some of these photos will live on in infamy forever, unfortunately. However, others have totally embraced their photo. It’s different for each case and person, and understandably so.
I put together a list of 10 iconic celebrity mug shots. All of these stand out amongst the others. For some, it’s how bad they look. On the other hand, some mug shots are iconic and famous for how good they look. Every picture is noteworthy for its own unique reason.

This mug shot was taken in 2002 after Nolte was arrested for DUI. Later, Nolte, himself, said that he looked “like an asylum inmate out for a lark.”

In 1938, Sinatra was arrested and booked on charges of Seduction. Looking at this mug shot, I believe it.

Bet you didn’t expect to see his name and face here. In 1977, he was arrested for running a stop sign and driving without a license.

Sure, the story is probably more iconic than the actual mug shot. However, when you’re arrested naked playing the bongos you’re going to make the list.

No stranger to being arrested, Jane Fonda gave us this iconic mug shot in 1970.

Bowie’s mug shot for a marijuana charge in 1976 is one of the most iconic mug shots of all-time.

It was sad seeing this in 2017. It showed how far the world’s greatest golfer had fallen in recent years. However, he’d bounce back and win another Master’s tournament a couple years later.
