When Donald "Chip" Pugh, a 45-year-old DUI suspect from Lima, Ohio, saw his wanted mugshot on Facebook in 2016, he was deeply unimpressed with his appearance. In response, he messaged the police station a stylish selfie wearing sunglasses and a blazer, adding: "Here's a better photo, that one's terrible."
Unphased, the police posted his selfie publicly, thanking him while reminding him to turn himself in. The hilarious exchange quickly went viral, spreading his face across local and national media.
Ultimately, Pugh's vanity backfired. The widespread publicity made him instantly recognizable, leading to his arrest in Florida shortly after a citizen spotted him from the viral selfie.
