This is Rick Perry's mug shot

Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) turned himself in to authorities in Austin on Tuesday after being indicted on charges of abuse of power. This is his mug shot, courtesy of the Travis County Sheriff.

"I'm going to enter this courthouse with my head held high, knowing the actions I took were not only lawful and legal but right," Perry told reporters.

As Scott Lemieux recently wrote for The Week, the charges against Perry are pretty thin. No matter what happens though, he'll always have that photo. --Ryu Spaeth
