In 2014, mug shots are the new Facebook profile pictures.
Michael Whitington, a 45-year-old bank robbery suspect, has what may be the happiest mug shot in all of criminal-land. The picture, provided by the Denver District Attorney's Office (surprisingly not provided by IMG Models), shows Whitington grinning from ear-to-ear.
Whitington was arrested on Sept. 23 after allegedly fleeing from a bank in Denver, Colorado's 16th Street pedestrian mall. He attempted to escape on a light-rail train, which police stopped after a few blocks and reprimanded him, the Associated Press reports.
The happy-go-lucky alleged felon has been charged with one count of robbery and is set to appear in court on Tuesday.
Hopefully court will afford lots of new photo ops.
