Woman Calls 911 To Complain About Terrible Mugshot In Local Paper

Woman Calls 911 To Complain About Terrible Mugshot

We've all had bad photographs taken of us - and as you'll see from the picture gallery below, mug shots seem to be a nigh-on guaranteed way of achieving one - but one Georgia woman wasn't going to stand for it when a mug shot of hers appeared in a local broadsheet, no sir.

After spotting a snap of herself in the Bad & Busted mug shot paper, Tonya Fowler picked up her phone and called 911 to let the police know she did not approve, reports The Huffington Post.

"Ms. Fowler contacted 911 earlier today in reference to being upset about a picture," an officer stated in the report obtained by The Smoking Gun. "I informed Ms. Fowler to contact 911 for emergencies, injuries or violence."

Amazingly, the photograph we've got for you above is not the picture she initially took umbrage with, but the mug shot taken by the police officers who arrested her for - you guessed it - unlawful use of the emergency service, following on from a previous incident when she needed a place to keep her sleeping bags and a stranger wouldn't let her use their house.

It makes you think, though: if that's the photo taken after the previous, even worse one - what must that have been like? Doesn't bear thinking about, really...
