In this edition of Stupid Criminals we find a man who hates his mugshot so much, he sends police a selfie.

According to Huffington Post, 45-year-old Donald Pugh of Lima, Ohio has a warrant out for failure to appear in court, and he is also a suspect in an arson case.  The police wanted help tracking him down, so they put his mugshot up on Facebook last week.

Well, Pugh saw it and he hated it, so he sent the cops a selfie, and told them, "Here is a better photo, that one is terrible."

A police spokesman said, "He's drawing more attention to himself, which is going to make it easier for us to locate him, because the more attention this [Facebook] post garners, the more tips are going to come in."

For now though, Pugh's plan hasn't backfired yet because the police are still trying to locate him.
