Note: WCNC adopted a policy in March 2021 regarding the broadcast or publication of mug shots.

WCNC will only broadcast or publish a mugshot if the person has been formally charged with a crime and in some other cases. Exceptions include: When it appears the person may pose a danger to themselves or others or if they are wanted by authorities; to distinguish between people who share a common name; when the photos might encourage more victims to come forward. Newsroom management may also decide to use a mugshot depending on the severity of the crime(s) committed and/or the level of public interest in the crime and the subsequent criminal proceedings.

WCNC Charlotte has chosen to use this mugshot because there may be other victims.
