A police sketch that was publicly mocked for its resemblance to a Muppet actually helped nab a suspect earlier this week in Texas.

The drawing of the man was based on the description given to a forensic artist by two unidentified victims: a 77-year-old woman and her 57-year-old daughter, who were robbed at knifepoint in broad daylight.

But on Jan. 28, when a local police officer noticed the similarity between the suspect in the sketch and a suspect being questioned in a different crime, Texas police arrested 32-year-old Glenn Edwin Rundles in connection to the daylight robbery. According to the Houston Chronicle, Rundles is being held on charges of aggravated robbery, indecent exposure, criminal mischief, burglary of a habitation, and evading arrest. His bond is set at $135,000.

How much does it pay to be a sketch artist? Would I need to take a loan out to go to school for it?

Honestly, I could do better than that in Jr. High.

Hell, the old "flip" books could have created a closer resemblance.

"evading arrest", are they serious?

I hope this dude isn't just the first patsy they could find to arrest....cause he doesn't look anything like the "Muppet Drawing"....

"We'll show them, we got 'em", yeah, right.

I am, funniest damn thread I've seen in a while.
Must be what Obama meant by recruiting the best and brightest for government work.

I do not see the resemblance to a muppet, either.
