Traffic Stops and crime

A traffic stop early Thursday led to the arrest of a man in connection with the theft of a trailer and three motorcycles.

Shelby County deputies spotted a man pulling a 24-foot trailer with no tail lights at Egypt Central and Raleigh-Millington around 2:40 a.m. The trailer’s safety chain was also dragging on the ground.

Redford, pictured, the driver, had a suspended license and couldn’t produce proof of insurance.

After Redford was arrested, deputies inventoried his vehicle and found a black wig, ski mask and bolt cutters.

Deputies then discovered the trailer had been reported stolen from a house in the 3000 block of Shoehorn in Lakeland earlier in the night. The victim came to the scene and identified three motorcycles in the trailer as his.

So does closing the eyes in a mugshot make a person look less or more guilty?
