For a man who had just been arrested, former US Sen. John Edwards sure looks chipper in his mugshot, which was released on Wednesday. The one-time vice presidential hopeful was arrested in June on conspiracy and campaign law violation charges, to which he pleaded not guilty.

Former senator John Edwards was indicted by a grand jury in North Carolina Friday morning on federal campaign finance charges for allegedly trying to cover up an affair while running for president in 2008. Edwards was indicted in six counts, including conspiracy, four counts of illegal campaign contributions and one count of false statements. A warrant has been issued for his arrest.
