The Story Behind Ocala's Most Popular Mugshot

Fred Hiers: Before May 13th, Robert Morgan had never had a run-in with the law.

The 39-year-old unemployed warehouse worker had lived a mostly quiet life for the past seven years with his 37-year-old girlfriend, Tammy Hulon.

They rarely fought, adored their children and grandchildren from previous marriages, and planned to grow old together.

Until May 13th, the only place you'd find pictures of Morgan would have been in the couple's family photo albums and on the walls of their home in Northeast Ocala.

Now thousands of people in Ocala and who knows where else have seen his picture and laughed or grimaced at the sight. His booking mug on Ocala.com's Mug Shots feature is the most viewed — more than 6,000 hits — in the past four months.
