Every Picture Tells a Story

Suspect’s mug shot shows deep sorrow … at getting caught

Commentary

Grapevine police arrested a man suspected of impersonating an officer. No specific officer, mind you, just an officer.

Brandon Cody Verran was arrested Friday for allegedly going from store to store in an unidentified shopping center, allegedly telling clerks he was an officer, and allegedly demanding security video because an alleged kid was allegedly struck by an alleged vehicle in the alleged parking lot. That should take care of any potential libel threats.

He posted bail and walked out of jail but not before posing for perhaps one of the greatest mug shots in the history of mug shotdom.

I mean, the man is allegedly on the verge of genuine tears in that picture.

Nope, wait … check that … a closer inspection of the photo reveals he reached and passed that verge. Those, right there, those are tears.

So much for the macho-cop image.
