Just about every week, we bring you a roundup of visitors to the desert’s own Fourth Avenue Jail. To be considered for our Maricopa County mugshots of the week, get arrested, strike a pose, and we’ll take care of the rest.
This week, our alleged criminals look like they deserve awards — and probably not community-service awards. We can only work with what we’ve got, so welcome to the first annual Maricopa County mugshots awards ceremony. Enjoy.
