Florida man's mug shot ridiculed on social media

A Florida man's mug shot has gone viral after Facebook users commented on the unusual size of his neck.

Charles Dion McDowell, 31, was arrested Friday in Pensacola on drug charges, including fleeing police and possession of meth and cocaine, investigators said.

"McDowell is currently a guest at the GoldStar Hotel with a bond of $57,000," the Escambia County Sheriff's Office said in a Facebook post.

But McDowell's arrest wasn't the reason the agency's Facebook post garnered over 200,000 shares -- and counting. It was his mug shot.
Here's a sampling of the 250,000 comments:
