Every Friday, Riptide brings you the most eye-catching mugshots taken the previous week (or thereabouts) in Miami-Dade County. Yes, there is some mockery of bad neck tattoos, but also adulation directed at perps who just plain look more badass than we ever will. This is the italicized intro to that series.
Arrested: 2/19
Charges: Battery
Now maybe you're thinking his girlfriend's name is Gloria and that's why it's tattooed on his neck. Perhaps his mother's. Or maybe he's just a really big fan of Gloria Estefan. We think you're all wrong. We just think
that Laura Branigan song really, really resonates with him. (In case you're wondering, yes, those do appear to be some sort of cheekbone and forehead piercings.)
Arrested: 2/15
Charges: Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon
Well, she didn't wear her boxing-glove earrings that day because she felt like
not assaulting somebody. Any true fashionista accessorizes appropriately for the crime.
Arrested: 2/20
Charges: Battery and Resisting an Officer Without Violence
I didn't know continually battering your face against asphalt counted as battery, but maybe this came after the resisting-an-officer charge. Who knows?
