Last week in Denver, a man named Michael Whitington reportedly robbed a bank and then attempted to make his getaway on a light rail train. Because public transportation is a terrible way to escape the police, they were able to catch him a few blocks away.
Whitington, 45, was formally charged on Friday, but based on his mug shot, he’s probably not even mad about it.
This toothy, wide-eyed smiling face is of course being hailed as “the happiest mug shot ever” in the age of hyperbole we currently live in, but because we don’t know how Whitington was actually feeling at the time it was taken (or what drugs he may have been on), we’ll just classify it as hilarious.
According to the Denver District Attorney’s office, the joyful, toothless Whitington is charged with one count of robbery and is set to appear in court today. So hopefully we’ll have more fun news to report about him soon.
