Some lawbreakers strike a pose during mug shot sessions

MAY 25--Meet Cody Patrick Allumbaugh. The 21-year-old Idaho man was arrested last night on a warrant charging him with failing to appear for a court hearing. Nothing unique there, of course. But it was the pose young Mr. Allumbaugh struck when his mug shot was snapped by the Ada County Sheriff's Office that was special. The booking photo can be found below.

On the following pages you'll find some other defendants who eschewed the "glum con" look that has proven so popular. (9 pages)
