Matthew Maynard didn't approve of the mug shot they printed, so he sent them a better one... in front of a police van.
"He telephoned on Monday saying he was not happy with the picture and that he would send in another," the spokesman said. "We just didn't believe that he would do it."
However, staff received a photo of Maynard posing next to a police van.
Police said Maynard's stunt is likely to backfire as the newspaper printed the photo on its front page.
"He is a berk. He thinks he is being clever by showing off like this, but we'll have him in soon now," one officer said.
