There are crimes against fashion and there are crimes solved by fashion.

Police in Charlotte, N.C., say they arrested a home invasion suspect who accidentally left a T-shirt featuring his own face -- in the form of a mug shot -- at the scene of the crime.

Following his release from a North Carolina prison after serving seven years for armed robbery and breaking and entering, Jonathan Huntley, 25, acquired a T-shirt printed with his own mug shot and the words "Making Money Is My Thang," The Smoking Gun reports.

Huntley has been charged with robbery and breaking and entering with force.
