2009 in Mug Shots

Nicholas Frank Prugo
Accused of: burglary
Prugo, 18, is said to be a member of a gang of teenagers who stole jewelry and clothes from the homes of celebrities like Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton. According to investigators, the group used celebrity Websites to determine when a victim would be attending a party or a premiere and thus not be at home. Police say some of the stolen bling was sold, while other items were kept as trophies. Arrested in November, Prugo has pleaded not guilty.
