Man takes new jail mug shot with a T-shirt of his old mug shot
Bobby Burt, a 19-year old from Pittsfield, Maine, sure did handle his stay at the local jail with an interesting artistic statement.
Burt was arrested for drunk driving this past June, and following a guilty plea he reported to jail a week and a half ago to serve two days in the Somerset County lockup. But when he turned himself in, he came prepared for his booking photo, The Smoking Gun reports — with a special orange T-shirt printed with his first mug shot from his initial arrest.
Since his release, Burt has also made the photo his official profile picture on his Facebook account. Now here's hoping that after this, he doesn't continue it into an ongoing series of infinite recursion artwork.--Eric Kleefeld
