It should come as no surprise to anyone that 57-year-old Jimmie Johnson of Aiken was arrested last night for being grossly intoxicated and disorderly in the city limits of Aiken.
Jimmie's name is a regular in the jail bookings published in The Aiken Standard, and his mugshots have appeared in our paper multiple times since we began publishing last June. He is almost always charged with some form of gross intoxication, disorderly conduct or trespassing. He also has some previous arrests for purse snatching, littering, failure to comply with officer's order and resisting arrest.
That's his newest mugshot at the top, taken last night. But we thought it would be fun to count the number of mugshots now available on his booking page (available by clicking here), and it appears Mr. Johnson is closing in on #100.
We counted 97 mugshots since the Aiken County Detention Center began storing them online in 2002. We can't imagine how many arrests he had in the decades before that. His oldest mugshot is shown as the bottom mugshot. It was taken in July 2002.
We mention the word "fun." But really this is sad. What should society do about someone like this who can't control their drinking and continues to cost taxpayers thousands of dollars a year to jail them? Any ideas?
A 9mm round to the back of the head, and I will pay for the bullet. Gotta do my bit to help the gummint reduce expenditures.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how many times he has been to jail since he was 18?
ReplyDeleteHe's been watching reruns of the Andy Griffith show and thinks his name is Otis!!
ReplyDeleteJeez, what could have gone wrong in his life to result in this mess? A handsome man-that probably could have gone far in this life chose the bottle. What a waste; make him pay for his incarceration each time.
ReplyDeletehmmm...what about rehab? yeah you joke about a 9mm bullet to the back of the head like a LIFE taken is a joke...i dont care how many times this man has been to jail, he is still living and breathing just like you are...
ReplyDeleteI hope that this man is not driving.
ReplyDeleterehab? ok, when he finishes that (if he finishes) where does he go? back to familiar surroundings and buddies who'll offer a drag off that pint of Mr. Boston. the only way to stop it is to change his surroundings but i doubt that's possible at his age and who would pay for it? let him get 100, 150, 201 mug shots. think of jail as a extended stay motel that he can check into whenever he wants. expend your enegry on his kids or something worthwhile. he wont change unless he wants to and, by the looks of it, all he wants is another shot of "bumpy bootle"
