This Is the Kind of First Sentence Hard News Reporters Dream Of

Seriously, just read the first sentence.

Then enjoy the mug shot.

It seems too unbelievable to be true.

I will mention that the guy is prescribed meds for mental illness.

"When one of the officers confronted Signalness about his masturbation and the pornography on the front passenger seat, Signalness reportedly replied "You caught me red-handed.""

A man who was intoxicated and masturbating to pornography when he drove a stolen car through the crime scene tape surrounding the homicide of a teen-age boy last year will not have to register as a sex offender.

I love that he appears to have rehabilitated himself! Which raises the problem of the mug shot. Ah well. I was reading that some guy is now aggregating mug shots from all the shitbird jurisdictions that release them. He hangs onto them and asks those pictured to pay him $99 to take them off his site. Capitalism vs. ACLU - who will win?

There's an interloper @ 5 - bingo cookies.

In any event the first sentence follows the journalistic precept of answering four of the five Ws - but not Why. And maybe How.

He undoubtedly has legal possession of firearms and perhaps a pit bull or two.

The discussion here at work is leaning to no sex crime as well. Masterbation was the only legal thing he was doing at the time.

That is a FANTASTIC mug shot.

I only dream that if I'm ever arrested for anything I can manage to look like that much of a caricature for my mug shot.
