CATAWBA COUNTY:  North Carolina resident Michael Edward Thompson was busted in April 2007 by Hickory Police Department officers and charged with inhaling toxic vapors. Thompson, 34, was booked into the Catawba County jail where this mug shot was snapped. Although an examination of the picture leaves little doubt where the toxic vapors he was allegedly inhaling came from, a police report noted that Thompson was in possession of a can of spray paint and a plastic bag.
