You know the guys who always blink when they get their picture taken? This is them.
In the past, we've given our due to the men and women charged with taking the mugshots down at the Will County jail. It's not an easy job, and we know this. But this week we have way too many shut-eyed mugshots. How exactly does it work down there? Is it one and done? Doesn't anyone get a second chance if they happen to blink at the exact wrong time? We don't know. Because we haven't been down there. Well, actually we have been down there. But we weren't getting locked up. We here at the Shorewood Patch are law abiding and don't get locked up. Just like the good people of Shorewood, for the most part. So, yes, we have been down to the county jail. But we were "just visiting." Like in Monopoly. And since you're here, thank you for visiting …

If there was another guy. We don't really know how these cats got so messed up.
We've got a pretty rough looking crew for you in the Rogues Gallery this week. We didn't get a look at the truck that ran this bunch over, or the cat that dragged them in, or the wringer they were put through, but hey, give these guys this much — they toughed it out at least long enough to get their pictures taken. Because it's not how many times you get knocked down, it's how many times you get up. Or something. At any rate, these guys gave 110 percent. They left it all out there on the floor. At least they look like they did. And we're about out of cliches, so here you go, with the latest edition of THE ROGUES GALLERY.

It's just to clarify where someone actually lives because there are so many places that are in Joliet, but sound like they are in Plainfield because of the postal system. It's not intended as an indictment of Joliet or to make Plainfield look good. more ›
