Mayweather Jr. cheeses for a mugshot

Here is the mug shot of Floyd Mayweather Jr. that was taken by Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department today after Junior was busted and booked on a felony theft charge that is said to have been triggered by a domestic violence complaint filed by his ex-girlfriend, Josie Harris.

According to his attorney, Mayweather Jr. is accused of stealing an iPhone from Harris. The charge doesn’t sound like too big of a deal but according to AP reports, it is actually legally considered a felony and grand larceny charge.

The Clark County jail who took the mugshot held the fighter on $3,000 bail which he probably had in his back pocket at the time and considers pocket change.

Mayweather caused a media frenzy recently when he went on an internet feed and produced a profanity-laced, racial rant aimed at Manny Pacquiao, a man many consider to be the best pound-per-pound boxer in the world. A man many have accused Mayweather of ducking in the ring.

That rant contained enough Mother F-bombs to make a Scarface sequel and can be read about here.
