Now you may be a prominent member of the community. Or someone who occasionally has scrapes from the boys and girls in blue. You could even be a full-fledged career criminal. No matter how you approach the law, no one wants to sit in the back of a police car, ‘handcuffed and staring into the cells over the course of a night. Only the most narcissistic villains enjoy having their mugshot taken. But as a law-breaking poser or a first-time offender, no one wants the internet to ogle and laugh at the photo of their station building dressed in some sort of ridiculous fancy dress. So it was bad luck for the next 14 people arrested on Halloween night. Prepare to witness some of the dumbest mugshots ever taken on police celluloid… (Photos: TNI PRESS LTD) If Justin Long played The Joker
We’ll start with the first of a few Jokers. And not, as we’ll see, the worst offender. Not by a long shot. There’s an irony here that’s tastier than most Halloween candy: seeing someone arrested while dressed as the most dastardly comic book villain ever created. However, this perpetrator is not fully invested in the ethos of Arthur Fleck’s alter ego. Look how miserable he is. Even the slightest glimpse of this young guy’s mugshot begs the question… Why so serious? (Photo: TNI PRESS LTD)Be prepared… to sleep in a cell
This 24-year-old Floridian was pinched on Halloween night for resisting arrest. His crime? Well, that doesn’t appear to be a Boy Scout Association rulebook. But an unofficial neckerchief ring does not – we don’t think – violate Florida state law. Whatever this zombie scout was up to, it was enough to see him temporarily sent to the local slammer. Dressing up as a Boy Scout on Halloween is pretty weird, isn’t it? That said, it’s probably a little less suspicious than dressing up as a scoutmaster on Halloween.

Here we see 20 year old Dusten Jacob Williams from Oregon. He was busted by the police on Spooky Night for walking through the streets brandishing a BB gun that had been modified to look like a real gun. That’s troubling behavior no matter how you look at it. But it’s, you have to admit, even more worrying when you’re dressed as some sort of half-demon Darth Maul figure. Suffice to say, Dusten was left red-faced after his run-in with Oregon police. Although we would like to point out that no one is claiming that those black eyes had anything to do with his arresting officers. (Photo: TNI PRESS LTD) Sweatman
This guy, despite being arrested by the authorities, seems pretty pleased with himself, doesn’t he? Maybe there’s a smugness that comes from cosplaying as The Caped Crusader. We just hope the guy owned this Batman costume and it wasn’t a rental. Only those sweat stains under the armpits don’t come out during washing, right? Not made of 100% polyester.

In 2007, Mr. Travis Stone was arrested by Las Vegas police for driving under the influence after he lost control of his car and crashed into a wall. Yes, you read that right, Silver Surfer had ditched his magical metal surfboard in favor of a (presumably also metal-based) Mercedes. The silver lining? No one was hurt, because luckily the wall was just a wall and not someone dressed in a wall costume for Halloween. (Photo: TNI PRESS LTD) No joke
Our second Joker, this unruly New Yorker, was arrested by the NYPD for causing a disturbance at an Applebee’s. Not something you could imagine the real Joker doing, right? He tends to make his criminal enterprises a little higher stakes. Granted, Applebee’s isn’t considered the classiest restaurant option, but the chain doesn’t deserve a supervillain disturbing the peace and throwing chicken tenders all over the place, right? Where’s Batman when you need him, huh? (Photo: TNI PRESS LTD) Night of the Misbehaving Dead
Kevin Fearn was arrested by police, giving the medical staff a bad name. The 47-year-old was arrested at a Halloween party on October 30, 2011 in full zombie doctor costume after harassing a fellow partygoer. Now we all know that the undead certainly aren’t the best behaved, right? But we’ve never heard of a zombie sexually harassing anyone. Although it’s worth pointing out that eating people’s brains is also far from ideal party behavior. (Photo: TNI PRESS LTD) Finally someone who dressed appropriately
And the award for most ironic Halloween Mugshot goes to… this guy! It’s almost as if he knew just hours before he was caught that he was potentially facing a conviction in the not-so-distant future. After breaking the law on Halloween, this cosplay inmate found his costume quickly becoming rather eerily prescient. Good news for the officer responsible for handing out prison uniforms that evening. Their newest resident was already dressed accordingly. (Photo: TNI PRESS LTD) No ‘Best Dressed’ awards won
Time for our third and final Joker… Judging by the quality of the makeup work here, we’re guessing that boozer Dennis Lalime has never read a Batman comic. Or watched one of the various TV shows or movies. He was returning from a Halloween party when he crashed his car in Pittsfield, Maine. He was under the influence of alcohol, something that is quite evident in his pathetic attempt to look like The Joker. (Photo: TNI PRESS LTD)Scarface says hello to his little (police) friends
If disappearing from your parole officer is on the agenda, maybe skip the costume contest. A 32-year-old Michigan man tried to deceive authorities, but his Halloween ensemble made him easier to spot than a pumpkin in July. He was soon charged with absconding from parole and – we assume – coming up with a rather lazy Halloween costume. (Photo: TNI PRESS LTD) Big eyebrows are back in fashion
22-year-old Ariana Motta is from the city of Lakeland, Florida. Her crime? Driving with a suspended driver’s license. Of course, that’s a pretty minor offense. A fairly low-level crime. What isn’t low-key, however, is her makeup. It’s actually pretty awesome. If Florida state law requires a license to apply makeup, Ariana could easily get one. Whether it is suspended or not is another matter. (Photo: TNI PRESS LTD)The dark carnival is getting darker
This is Andrew Davis. In 2011, he was picked up by police in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, looking like this. Unlike some of the smaller crimes here, he was arrested for something pretty serious. He allegedly hit a man with his car, causing him to be dragged 30 meters before fleeing the scene. To make the incident even worse, he did so while wearing Juggalo makeup. As a devoted fan of the Insane Clown Posse, to say his behavior that night was insane would be an understatement. “Andy the Clown,” as he liked to be called, was charged with assault and battery with a deadly weapon and leaving the scene of an injury accident.

Well, then. Clowns are scary. That needs no discussion. What does need to be investigated is why Marlboro Vermont resident Sean Barber decided to break into a house and fall asleep in one of the bedrooms. While they are dressed from head to toe in full clown costume and makeup. The answer to that teaser came in the form of an accompanying crime for which he was further arrested: possession of cocaine. (Photo: TNI PRESS LTD)Holy cow!
For our final pick, we saved the very best – and the strangest – for last. This is Michelle Allen. She lives in Middletown, Ohio and was arrested for – hear this – urinating on a neighbor’s porch and chasing some kids down the street while dressed as a cow. So strange so far. The question we would ask here is why Ms. Allen is still wearing her bovine clothing for her mugshot. We think maybe as a result of a prank by the police. But look at that smile. Michelle is happy with her cattle turnout. And, hey – why not, eh? Let’s face it: it’s an elite ensemble. In fact, you could say… it’s downright brilliant. You could say that, but please don’t.
