A man being sought by police in Ohio was unhappy with the mug shot that was circulated with the warrant for his arrest, so he decided to send authorities a better one.

Donald A. "Chip" Pugh, 45, is wanted for failure to appear in multiple cases including arson and vandalism, the Lima Police Department stated in a Facebook post.

Police posted a mugshot of Pugh on their Facebook page, but Pugh did not think the mugshot represented him well, so he texted the police department a selfie.

"Here is a better photo. That one is terrible," Pugh's said in the text.

Police posted a screenshot of the text and the selfie on Facebook with the caption, “We thank (Pugh) for being helpful, but now we would appreciate it if he would come speak to us at the (police station) about his charges.”

As of Friday, Pugh had not been caught.
