We’ve all done something silly—but some folks take it way too far and end up with a mugshot that screams “Oops.” On today’s list, we’re counting down the Top 4 Worst (and Dumbest) Things You Can Get Arrested For. Buckle up, law-abiding legends—this one’s a ride.
#4 – Stealing a Street Sign… With Your Own Name On It 🚧
Sure, Chad thought it was hilarious to yank the “CHAD ST” sign off the pole after a few too many White Claws or yellow bellies. But apparently, the city doesn’t love it when you rob their roads blind.
Bonus points if it took you three tries and you live-streamed the whole thing.
#3 – Getting Arrested for Not Returning a VHS Tape 📼
This actually happened. Someone got cuffed because they never returned a rented movie. And not even a good one—“Freddy Got Fingered.” The only crime bigger than that might be watching it in the first place. Thank god for streaming now so you'll have at least one less reason to go to jail now.
#2 – Fighting a Mascot in Public 🐔🥊
Whether it’s a drunken scuffle with the Chick-fil-A cow or dropkicking the local high school eagle during halftime—fighting a mascot is a guaranteed ticket to being the main character on the internet (and in court). Those fluffy fists hit back. Don't fight the school mascot
#1 – Breaking Into Jail (Yes, Seriously) 🚓🔓
It’s the opposite of a jailbreak, and kind of like the old school FOX show "Prison Break"—and somehow even dumber. A man once got arrested for trying to sneak into jail because he “wanted to hang out with his friends.” That’s not friendship. That’s a sitcom waiting to happen.
Whether it’s signs, tapes, mascots, or misguided reunions, always remember: not every story needs a mugshot.
