Is it just me, or do these guys look like they're straight out of a Jim Thompson novel?
First off, we have Jay Thomas Gardner, 42, who was arrested in Fullerton for exposing himself to children in San Bernardino. Police had reason to believe he was out there, and, sure enough, Garden Grove police found him. He was living in his car and, as you can see, does not look well.
Next up we have actor Daniel Baldwin, 46, who was arrested at a Santa Monica hotel for stealing a GMC Yukon in Orange County, and for possible drug possession. The funny thing is that he was arrested in April for drug possession and threatening a woman at a different Santa Monica hotel. Trial is still pending on those charges and he's currently out on $20,000.00 bail.
I'm not sure which of these two looks worse. Baldwin's got those craggy features where I think he looks better the more fucked up he is. Gardner, though, he just looks beaten and defeated.
There's a point for some people where they just can't function anymore. Whether it's mental illness, drugs, or just plain old, mean spirited stupidity. Either way, I think Baldwin's going to crash more cars before Gardner waves his pecker at any more children. The benefits of privilege, I suppose.

It would be an interesting exercise to write flash fiction based on random mugshots.
Oh. My good sir, I do believe you may have hit on something.
