Congressman Stockman Threatens To Arrest Anyone Who Publishes His Mugshot, So Here’s His Mugshot [View all]

[Ichingcarpenter]

n 1977, Texas Republican congressman Steve Stockman spent a weekend in jail for traffic violations. While he was in the pokey, his jailers discovered the twenty-year-old future politician had Valium in his underpants, because where else would you keep it? Since Stockman was arrested, he has a mugshot, and he is very perturbed that said mugshot is winging around the internet, thanks to a PAC. -



According to Donny Ferguson, unnamed Michigan “officials” have told Stockman that this is all a big mistake. Ferguson wrote on Stockman’s campaign website:
Michigan’s 43rd Judicial District Clerk stated Stockman was never convicted of any charge and the documents were supposed to have been destroyed in 1978. Another Michigan official has advised Stockman he has grounds to file criminal complaints against any person or media organization that published the documents.
No one from the Stockman campaign has told any media outlet who these Michigan “officials” are, but I’m sure they’re real (wink wink). The Texas Tribune published an article on Stockman’s arrest, with the mugshot, so obviously, those poor bastards are headed to a gulag somewhere…well, cold. What’s interesting is that Stockman himself spoke about his arrest during an interview in 1995.
