Trenell R. Mance, Paula R. Ferdkoff, Nocturna Z. Geiter, Kelly R. Dombrowski, Edmund Grzeszkiewicz, Darlene Yarber, Ariel A. Utterback, Kyjuanzi Harris, Laconda McDonald, Tyrelle Lockett, Tyreesha Fraley, Sopheap Som, Wydell Feazell, Ashley M. Blumenshine.
What do all these people have in common? Besides having names that seem to have been arrived at by the semi-random shuffling of Scrabble tiles? They all feature in the Chicago Tribune's 'Mugs In The News' gallery as recently arrested suspected felons and miscreants.
Note: Arrest does not imply guilt, and criminal charges are merely accusations. A defendant is presumed innocent unless proven guilty and convicted. Apart from having a made-up name, that is. My favourites are Ashley M. Blumenshine and Ariel A. Utterback who sound like characters invented by W C Fields. I have no advice on whether Sopheap is pronounced Soffeep or otherwise. Pictured is Darlene Yarber, who is accused of 'Impersonating a lawyer'. Impersonating a human, more like.
Disclaimer: Other ne'er-do-wells with routine names are also available.
This is hilarious! I like your style for sure. However, Ariel is her real name.
