Only in Florida Would a Lawyer's Mug Shot End Up Next to Ad for His Practice

If it wasn't for bad luck, he'd have none.

A criminal defense attorney in Gainesville, FL is in a bit of a predicament after getting locked up for a hit-and-run accident that involved alcohol last weekend. Further complicating the matter is the fact that Thomas Edwards' mug shot appeared on one of those mugshot aggregate websites next to a banner ad for his practice. What are the odds of that happening? High if you live in Florida, apparently.

Here's what Edwards told The Gainesville Sun about mug shots back in 2007:

"Mug shots, unfortunately, are never good pictures. They've usually got people who are in compromised positions," said Gainesville defense attorney Thomas Edwards.

Oh, the irony.
