Thanks to social media, Donald "Chip" Pugh who sent police a 
selfie because he didn’t like the mugshot they used, has been arrested.
Pugh, 45, was captured on Tuesday in Florida after a tip-off 
from an unidentified source. The story went viral after he sent police 
selfie with the caption: "Here is a better 
photo that one is terrible." 
The Escambia County Sheriff's Office released Pugh's photos on its 
Facebook page thanking local police in Florida and credited the 
arrest to "the power of social media"
"How’s
 this photo Donald Pugh? On January 6th, theLima Police Department in 
Ohio, posted a photo of Donald “Chip” Pugh on social media as a 
wanted person for Failure to Appear. He responded by sending the Lima 
Police a selfie with the caption, “here is a better photo that one is 
terrible.” 
Around 11:00 Tuesday morning (1/12/16) the Escambia County 
Sheriff’s Office arrested Pugh in Century, Fl. thanks to a tip. Maybe 
that selfie helped people identify you better? #thanksfortheselfie #LESM"
