KENTON COUNTY, Ky. - Despite the t-shirt proclaiming him to be a "D.A.R.E. Role Model," a man was anything but as he posed for his booking photo on drug possession charges.
Derrick Morton was convicted of possessing cocaine after he pleaded guilty to the charge in Kenton County Circuit Court Monday. He was originally arrested by Elsmere Police in the incident, and the t-shirt he wore in his mug shot claimed he was a role model for the D.A.R.E. anti-drug program for youth.
Morton will be sentenced next month, but the prosecutor in the case is recommending a sentence of two years in prison.
Assistant Commonwealth Attorney Sharif Abdrabbo called Morton's mugshot attire "ironic but obviously inaccurate" in a statement to 9News.
