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.

Haha. What a loser.
The case is dead in the water anyway. The image is public domain.

What was photoshopped?
Anyway, there is reason for hope this holiday season!
Rogers says Tribett has been sober for eight weeks and is making progress.

His lawyer, H. John Rogers is one of those lunatics who is a member of the bar and a politician, but is so crazy hes just one step from being disbarred.

I had somebody come up to my restaurant counter like that back in the early 80’s - he held up his broken paper bag, dripping gold paint on my counter, and asked if I could give him a new bag.
Not just no, but hell no.

From his facial expression...the twisted mouth and the dead look in his eyes...even if his face wasn’t covered with paint, you could still tell he’d been “huffing”. Sick. I once had a next-door neighbor who’s daughter did this. Funny how they all look the same.
