The most bizarre Halloween mugshots released by police
Now you may well be an upstanding member of the community. Or someone that occasionally has scrapes with the boys and girls in blue. You could even be a fully-fledged career criminal. Whatever your approach to the law, no one wants to find themselves in the back of a cop car, ‘cuffed up and staring down the barrel of a night in the cells. Only the most narcissistic villains enjoy having their mugshot taken. But lawbreaking poser or first-time offender, no one wants the internet ogling and laughing at their station house snap when they’re dressed up in some sort of ludicrous fancy dress. So it was bad luck for the following 14 Halloween night arrestees. Prepare to witness some of the stupidest mugshots ever committed to cop shop celluloid… (Pictures: TNI PRESS LTD)
If Justin Long played The Joker
We start with the first of a few Jokers. And not, as we’ll see, the worst offender. Not by a long stretch. There’s an irony here tastier than most Halloween candy, seeing someone arrested while dressed up as the single most dastardly comic book bad guy ever created. This perp isn’t fully invested in the ethos of Arthur Fleck’s alter-ego, however. Look how miserable he is. Even the merest glimpse as this young fella’s mugshot begs the question… Why so serious?

Be Prepared… to sleep in a cell
This 24 year-old Floridian was pinched for resisting arrest on Halloween night. His crime? Well, that doesn’t appear to be a Boy Scout Association regulation woggle. But an unofficial neckerchief ring isn’t – we don’t think – against Florida state law. Whatever this zombie scout got up to, it was enough to see him sent temporarily to the local slammer. Dressing up like a boy scout on Halloween is pretty weird, isn’t it? That said, it’s probably a little less suspect that dressing up like a scoutmaster on Halloween. (Picture: TNI PRESS LTD)
Left red faced
Here we see 20 year-old Dusten Jacob Williams from Oregon. He was taken in by cops on Spooky Night for walking the streets waving a BB gun that had been adapted to look like a real gun. That’s worrying behaviour, no matter how you look at it. But it is, you have to admit, even more concerning when you’re dressed like some sort of half-demon Darth Maul figure. Sufficed to say that Dusten was left red faced after his brush with Oregon Police. Although we’d like to point out that no one is claiming that those black eyes were anything to do with his arresting officers. (Picture: TNI PRESS LTD)
Sweatman
This guy, despite having been detained by authorities, looks pretty pleased with himself, doesn’t he? Maybe there’s a smugness that comes from cosplaying as The Caped Crusader. We just hope that the fella owned this Batman costume and that it wasn’t a rental. Only those underarm sweat stains aren’t coming out in the wash, are they? Not out of 100% polyester.

Hi-yo, Silver! Away!
Back in 2007, Mr. Travis Stone was apprehended by the Las Vegas Police Department for drunk driving after he lost control of his car and drove into a wall. Yep, you read that right, Silver Surfer had ditched his magic metallic surfboard, in favour of a (presumably also metal-based) Mercedes. The silver lining? Well, no one was hurt as thankfully the wall was just a wall and not someone dressed up in a wall costume for Halloween. (Picture: TNI PRESS LTD)
Not joking
Our second Joker, this unruly New Yorker was arrested by the NYPD for causing a disturbance at an Applebee’s. Not something you can imagine the real Joker doing, is it? He tends to make his criminal enterprises a little higher stakes than that. Admittedly, Applebee’s isn’t seen as the classiest restaurant option, but the chain doesn’t deserve a supervillain disturbing the peace and throwing chicken tenders about the place, do they? Where’s Batman when you need him, eh? (Picture: TNI PRESS LTD)
Night of the misbehaving dead
Kevin Fearn here was collared by police giving medical staff a bad name. The 47 year-old was arrested at a Halloween party in full zombie doctor costume on October 30, 2011 after pestering a fellow partygoer. Now we all know that the undead are hardly the best behaved, don’t we? But we’ve never heard of a zombie sexually harassing anyone. Although it’s worth pointing out that eating people’s brains is far from ideal party behaviour either. (Picture: TNI PRESS LTD)
Finally – someone dressed appropriately
And the award for Most Ironic Halloween Mugshot goes to… this guy! It’s almost as if he knew, some hours before he got pinched, that he was quite possibly looking at a conviction in the not-so-distant future. After breaking the law at Halloween, this cosplay convict found his fancy dress quickly becoming rather eerily prescient. Good news for the officer in charge of handing out jail uniforms that evening, though. Their latest resident was already dressed accordingly. (Picture: TNI PRESS LTD)
Not winning any ‘Best Dressed’ prizes
Time for our third and final Joker… Now, judging by the quality of the make-up job here, we’re guessing that drink-driver Dennis Lalime has never read a Batman comic. Or seen any 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 which is quite plain to see from his woeful attempt at looking like The Joker. (Picture: TNI PRESS LTD)
Scarface says hello to his little (cop) friends
If disappearing from your parole officer is on the agenda, perhaps skip the costume contest. A 32 year-old man from Michigan tried to give authorities the slip, but his Halloween ensemble made him easier to spot than a pumpkin in July. He soon faced charges for being a parole absconder, and – we’re assuming – coming up with quite a lazy Halloween dress-up. (Picture: TNI PRESS LTD)
Big eyebrows really are back in fashion
22-year-old Ariana Motta here hails from the city of Lakeland in Florida. Her crime? Driving with a suspended driver’s licence. That’s a pretty minor infringement, of course. A fairly low-key misdemeanour. What’s not low-key, however, is her make-up. It’s actually quite terrific. If Florida state law require a licence for applying make-up, Ariana could easily get one. Whether it would be suspended or not is another matter. (Picture: TNI PRESS LTD)
The Dark Carnival gets darker
This is Andrew Davis. Back in 2011, in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, he was apprehended by police looking like this. Unlike some of the more minor crimes here, he was arrested for something fairly heavy. He allegedly struck a man with his car, dragging him 100 feet, before fleeing the scene. To compound the incident, he did so with Juggalo make-up on. A devoted fan of the Insane Clown Posse, to say his behaviour that night was insane would be an understatement. ‘Andy the Clown’, as he liked to be known, was charged with felony assault and battery with a deadly weapon and leaving the scene of an injury accident.

Trading the big top for the big house
Now, then. Clowns are creepy. That doesn’t need discussing. What does need looking into is quite why Marlboro, Vermont resident Sean Barber decided to break into a house and fall asleep in one of the bedrooms. While dressed head to toe in full clown suit and make-up. The answer to that teaser make come in the shape of an accompanying crime he was further arrested for: possession of cocaine.

Holy cow!
For our final pick, we’ve saved the very best – and very oddest – until last. This is Michelle Allen. She lives in Middletown, Ohio and was arrested for – get this – urinating on a neighbour’s porch and chasing some children down the street while dressed as a cow. So far, so strange. The question we’d ask here, is why Ms. Allen is still wearing her bovine attire for her mugshot. We’d suggest maybe as a result of some kind of prank by police. But look at that smile. Michelle’s happy in her livestock get-up. And, hey – why not, eh? Let’s be honest – it’s an elite ensemble. In fact, you could say… it’s udderly brilliant. You could say, but please don’t.
