Fugitive's selfie leads to arrest
ABC's David Wright has the story of a fugitive who sent a selfie to police, leading to his capture.

LIMA, Ohio -- A wanted man's vanity might be the break police need to nab him.

Police in Lima, Ohio, say the man sent them a selfie because he hates his mugshot.

Donald A "Chip" Pugh, 45, is wanted by police in connection with several crimes.

After police shared Pugh's mugshot on social media, he sent a new photo with the caption, "Here is a better photo that one is terrible."

The Lima Police Department then shared the new photo of Pugh.

Pugh even called a local radio station where he complained about the mugshot, saying he looked like "Thundercat."
