Is the picture bad, or is he The Jolly Green Giant’s uncle?
This is taking Humboldt County mugshots to a new level of awful….
KIM KEMP! This is YOUR future. THIS will make you a Pull-it-zer Prize Winning Journalist!
I am thinking it may be time for “Humboldt_Man” (or “Humboldt_Woman”). I really do believe we have “The Demographics” to go up against Florida_Man!
“Who (or What) is that?” you ask. Go take a look at “Florida_Man” on Twitter…..
We don’t have millions of people like Florida but we DO have Bears….
“””Florida Bear Breaks Into Garage, Eats 50lbs of Dog Food, Falls Asleep on Lawn””” (see picture)
And we have herb…
“””Florida Man Surrenders Marijuana Crop to Police Chopper, Later Learns It Wasn’t Looking for Him”””
And probably dressed drivers of fast vehicles…..
“””Florida Man Caught Driving Cadillac Naked at 110 mph in the Middle of the Afternoon”””
And we have drunk drivers….
“””Florida Man Tells Police He’s So Drunk He’ll Blow Up Breathalyzer “””
We also have Walmart, motorized scooters, and “female drivers”…..
“””Florida Woman Eats Cinnamon Rolls and Rotisserie Chicken While Driving Drunk Through Walmart on Motorized Scooter “””
Tweakers? Not in Humboldt…..
“””Florida Man Caught with 2,000 Amphetamines, Claims They’re For Erectile Dysfunction”””
Don’t Forget the Pawn Shops……
“””Florida Man Tries to Pawn Amp at Same Store He Stole it From”””
What we DON’T have is alligators or Manatees or Sea Turtles (wet or dried)…..
“””Florida Man Arrested After Alligator Hide Found Drying in Backyard of Frat House”””
“””Florida Man Poops Over Side of Boat as Police Are Trying to Arrest Him for Interfering With Manatees”””
“””Florida Man Hides From Deputies in Swamp, Eaten by Alligator”””
“””Florida Man Rides Sea Turtle, Spears Shark”
Or this, yet….
“””Florida Man Leads Police on Scooter Chase After He’s Suspected of Sniffing Women’s Feet in Library”””
But, Kim, THIS is the future. NO JURISDICTION, not even FLAW-DA can go up against HumCo’s Neck Tats! NO WHERE! NO HOW!!!
Dang, I don’t think Humboldt can beat “Florida Man Rides Sea Turtle, Spears Shark.” I’ve got to find that article and read it.
With a mugshot like that one might think yesterday was St Patricks day not New Year’s Eve.
Ach and begorra, the Humboldt County leprechauns are in charge of mugshots, don’t you know?
Still doin crank wow
That’s odd, he doesn’t LOOK like he was born yesterday.
