Well, This made me feel a bit better today

Rep. Greg Gianforte (R-Mont.) went to jail on Friday so authorities could take his fingerprints and mug shot following his June conviction for assaulting a reporter.

Gianforte was booked into the Gallatin County Detention Center in Bozeman, Montana, at 6:37 a.m. local time and released less than 30 minutes later.

Earlier this week a county judge denied the congressman’s request to not be fingerprinted and photographed.


SORRY I couldn't get the mug shot for posting---

Mugshots are not automatically released as public information in Gallatin County, one of the few counties in Montana that treats the photos as confidential criminal justice information. Mugshots are, however, often released in the county by order a District Court judge, and the Chronicle has asked the court to consider such a release.
