Carl Wagner, Bartender; wanted for carrying a concealed weapon. Previously wanted in Tacoma for murder
Rabelais Books, a bookshop in Portland, Maine that specializes in food and wine material, is currently exhibiting a selection of mug shots of criminals that dabbled in the food trade. The exhibit titled Food Industry Mug Shots 1899-1954 features images from the collection of Dr. Lou Jacobs.
Jacobs, a serious foodie himself, started collecting the mug shots 4 years ago when after searching for an antique cleaver for his own kitchen, came across a visual of a foodie who had stabbed a colleague with a butcher knife. I guess the rest, they say, is history.
