    Man shows up for jail in T-shirt with mug shot

    This Aug. 8, 2014 booking photo released by the Somerset County Sheriff's Department shows Robert Burt, of Pittsfield, Maine, as he reported to serve jail time in Madison, Maine, for a June arrest for operating under the influence while driving. Burt arrived wearing a T-shirt bearing his mug shot that was made at the time of the June arrest.

    Madison, Maine (AP) — A man reporting to jail in Maine put some thought into his attire: He wore an orange T-shirt with his mug shot printed on it.

    Robert Edward Burt, of Pittsfield, was arrested on a charge of operating under the influence in June and bailed out. He was later sentenced to 48 hours in jail.

    WMTW-TV reports the 19-year-old Burt showed up at the Somerset County Jail on Aug. 8 wearing a T-shirt with a picture of his mug shot from his arrest. Then he had his new mug shot taken.

    He was released on Aug. 10.
