Deputies in Oregon said they found a suspect in a machete attack in a bathroom -- and with a new hair hairstyle, according to KOMO.

Authorities responded to a home on Wednesday (March 17) around 1:35 a.m. where they located Klint Wise of Mill City, Oregon, according to the Linn County Sheriff's Office. He's accused of attacking a man in a 7-Eleven parking lot with a "machete-type weapon" back in February, deputies said.

What reporters found interesting was that his mugshot was from back then was quite different to how he looks now. In the first mugshot, Wise clearly has dark hair, and in his most recent photo taken after his arrest, he appears to have bleached blonde hair.

Wise was booked into the Linn County Jail on charges of second-degree assault, unlawful use of a weapon and an outstanding warrant for a parole violation.

There have been reports of other strange arrests throughout the West Coast. Take for example a man in Washington who was arrested for allegedly stealing a 400-pound slide from a playground. Another man was taken into custody after airport police discovered he hid meth as a birthday present in California.
