In 2016, Donald “Chip” Pugh from Lima, Ohio, turned an ordinary police manhunt into an internet sensation. Wanted for failing to appear in court on a DUI charge—and a person of interest in other crimes like arson and vandalism—Pugh was surprised to see his mugshot posted on the local police department’s Facebook page. Unimpressed by the photo, he actually texted police a selfie of himself wearing sunglasses in a car, writing, “Here is a better photo, that one is terrible.” Later in a radio interview, he joked that the original mugshot made him look like a “Thundercat.” Police didn't miss a beat—they shared his selfie online, and the unusual exchange quickly went viral. While it drew laughs, it also brought national attention to his case, showing that sometimes even fugitives care about their social media image!
