APRIL 4--After discovering this classic mug shot, we doubted that another arrestee would ever be photographed in a similar state. Well, meet Michael Edward Thompson. The North Carolina man, 34, was busted Sunday by Hickory Police Department officers and charged with inhaling toxic vapors. Thompson, who was popped behind a Circuit City at 7 AM, was booked into the Catawba County jail, where the below mug shot was snapped. Although an examination of the picture leaves little doubt where the toxic vapors he was allegedly inhaling came from, a police report notes that at the time of his arrest, Thompson was in possession of a can of spray paint and a plastic bag. Before being transported to the county jail, Hickory police also took time to snap a couple of photos of Thompson, who has a court appearance scheduled for May 2 on the misdemeanor charge. (4 pages)
