Floyd Mayweather Arrested, Excited Over Mug Shot

Floyd Mayweather was served with a warrant in Las Vegas last night and arrested in connection with an alleged November assault against a security guard in his neighborhood. The boxer was at a casino on the strip when police came for him, but he doesn’t look too sad about getting booked, does he? Perhaps the black jack table was being even less kind to Mayweather than the cops that took him in… Where does Mayweather’s beaming mug shot rank in the pantheon of celebrity arrests? Visit our THG gallery and decide for yourself! About a month ago, Mayweather supposedly poked a security guard in the face after this man approached the athlete over a parking violation. If convicted, the world champion faces a maximum of six months in prison.

Jon Stewart Interviews 9/11 First Responders, Destroys Republican Senators
