<snip>
Stuart police arrested Mack Yearwood Tuesday on outstanding warrants from Citrus County, on Florida’s Gulf Coast. Officers say Yearwood used his “Wanted of the Week” poster from that county as his Facebook profile photo.

Police used the photo to help identity him as a suspect in a reported disturbance from Monday night at a home in Stuart. An officer who responded to the disturbance informed other investigators of Yearwood’s warrants, a department spokesman said. An officer checked a Facebook page, where Yearwood appeared to proudly display his wanted status.

Yearwood was located Tuesday and arrested on two warrants. He asked to put on a pair of jeans lying on the floor near his bed. As he got dressed, a bag of marijuana fell out of his pocket, police said.

A charge of possession of cannabis under 20 grams was added. Jail records indicate that Yearwood works as a carpenter for a construction company in Jupiter. He was wanted by Citrus County authorities for violation of probation on two counts of battery, police said.

5. I've had strangers tell me in the past that I looked like...

... Kenneth Branagh (after the movie "Henry V" was released), a light-haired Jason Bateman, etc.

None of the comparisons were very accurate, in my opinion.

I saw a police sketch that looked identical to me at a gas station one time, however! The person had robbed the place a few days earlier, I guess.

I chuckled when I saw the drawing and almost pointed out the uncanny resemblance to the clerk, but I stopped myself at the last second. It suddenly hit me that pointing out how I looked identical to their police sketch might cause me some future undeserved headaches! I also avoided that particular gas station after that!

...on a f'ing milk carton !

(and I'd do it if I had half and ounce of photoshop talent - lol)

Once I realized how big that pic was, I just had to add the trigger warning cuz it made me gag and I was expecting it.
