He will be long remembered for the big grin he struck in his mug shot when he was booked. "I said a little prayer before I actually did the fingerprint thing and the picture," he said. "My prayer was basically, 'Let people see Christ through me. And let me smile.' Now, when they took the shot from my side, I thought it was the fakiest smile I'd ever given.
