Man sues over mugshot
A McMechen man whose mugshot won a measure of Internet fame is planning to sue companies he says are profiting from the image.
Patrick Tribett was arrested in Bellaire, Ohio, in 2005. Police say he had been huffing the fumes from gold spraypaint, and the lower half of his face was golden in his mugshot.
New Martinsville lawyer H. John Rogers says the image has appeared on T-shirts, coffee mugs and even a billboard in Europe.
