It's funny, I was sitting here and all of a sudden I remembered this same series of images that I saw on rotten.com many years ago, and like you, wondered about the story behind the mugshots. So I tried a series of searches myself which lead me to this web site:

Seems to confirm the name from your story. By the way, thanks for posting what you've learned!
