Morgan County Sheriff's Office (MCSO) authorities were caught off-guard when the felon that they arrested made a bizarre request Saturday.

24-year-old Heath Swafford was arrested over the weekend after a foot chase on Lower Dry Creek Road after discovering that the Lacey Springs resident was possessing an amount of meth and heroin, said the MCSO in a Facebook post.

Swafford then requested to have his photo taken together with the arresting officers.

Despite facing multiple felony charges including theft of property, receiving stolen property and criminal mischief on the first degree, Swafford still managed to break a smile during the photo op, said the New York Post.

He was also arrested on four felony probation revocation warrants of possession of controlled substances.

Officers also discovered a stolen motorcycle at his residence, the post added.

In addition, Swafford will face additional drug and property crimes and is currently being held without bond, said the social media post.
