Mugshot of Man Arrested for Stealing $200 Goes Absolutely Viral Online


I know what you’re thinking…

And yes, this is a real mugshot.

A 27-year-old man named Dejontay Wings (also, yes, that’s really his name) was recently arrested in Baton Rogue, LA.

He is accused of stealing $200 out of a safe at the oil change business he used to work at.

This local news clip detailed the crime:

Wings has quite an unusual face, as you can see.

And, apparently, that’s not the only thing easily-identifiable about him.

It turns out that the only way police were able to catch him was because of his “distinctive walk.”

Per WBRZ:

According to a Baton Rouge Police warrant, Dejontay Wings broke a window in the garage at Take 5 Oil Change, walked around the office to find the safe and took cash from the safe around 10:50 p.m. on Dec. 2, 2025.

Police say the security camera malfunctioned during the theft and did not capture the suspected burglar’s face, but the manager of the auto shop said he recognized the man as Wings by his distinctive walk. The manager added that Wings had been fired two weeks before the break-in.

On Saturday, Wings was arrested on simple burglary and criminal damage to property charges.

Now, usually, petty theft cases like this are not very newsworthy.

Wings is known online as “Wingstoofunny” and was an early member of comedian Funny Mike’s team.

It also seems like he burns through jobs like wildfire…

Earlier this month, he was spotted working as security at a club:

Here’s hoping that Mr. Wings has learned his lesson and that, in the future, he will earn his cash the honest way…

Maybe by starting a wings restaurant?

Just a thought.
