Mugshot of Bruised Suspect Not Initally Released by Crisfield Police

Crisfield Mug Shot/WBOC

It was an old mugshot of 27-year old Corey Jenkins that was released by the Crisfield police after he was arrested for drug possession and biting an officer.

WBOC obtained the one after he was actually arrested Monday night.

It shows Jenkins with a black and swollen eye.

But mugshot was not released by authorities until after the television station asked for it.

Crisfield Police Chief Michael Tabor told the WBOC that he did not want to embarrass Jenkins.

Jenkins was taken into custody for possession of heroin and marijuana after a Monday night traffic stop.
