Palm Beach Mugshots Guessing Game

The Palm Beach Post has a feature where you can browse the mugshots of people who have recently been arrested and read what crimes they are accused of. It's kind of funny, sad, tragic, scary, and enlightening all at the same time. I browsed them last night and picked out some of the folks I thought were most interesting, then organized them by what they were arrested for. There are some obvious patterns, but also some surprises. See how well you can judge people at face value. Answers are at the bottom of the post.
