Kevin Gibson of Florida has one of those faces that you just can’t forget.

The world got to know it last year when he was arrested for drinking in public and possessing more than 20 grams of marijuana with intent to sell, according to the Palm Beach Post.

The 59-year-old Gibson was arrested yet again in Miami Beach earlier this month — and he’s still rockin’ that half beard.

“By any measure, Kevin Gibson is a public nuisance, a convicted felon with dozens of arrests and multiple state prison terms. But look at that half-beard!” The Smoking Gun gushed.

The Palm Beach Post noted that Gibson hasn’t always worn his beard half-baked. He had a full beard six years ago when he was arrested on other drug-related charges, it reported.

His rap sheet is longer than his beard — burglary, kidnapping, battery, strong arm robbery, cocaine sales and loitering.

Gibson is apparently now in the running for Florida mugshot of the year, giving “Joker” wannabe Lawrence Sullivan, arrested last month for marijuana possession, a run for his money.
