Danielle Staub Mug Shots: Reportedly Revealed!

At the conclusion of this week's Real Housewives of New Jersey episode, Bravo teased its next installment of the franchise. And the preview was a doozy!

Viewers were told that Danielle Staub may have been arrested years ago. Moreover, her mug shot allegedly appears in “Cop Without a Badge,” a biography penned by former FBI and Secret Service employee Kevin Maher.

Now, according to photos dug up by The Newark Star-Ledger, it appears as though the network isn't lying.

In "Cop Without a Badge," Maher details his life as a con man that becomes an informant for the New York Police Department and the FBI. Along the way, leaves his wife and stepson for a stripper named Beverly Merrill. He writes:

"She was brunette. Long, perfectly shaped legs poked out of her leather hot pants just as provocatively as her braless breasts strained against her low-cut blouse."

After Merrill and Maher have "explosive sex," he thinks to himself: "This is a good person. She has no morals, but she's a good person."

Does this sound like Danielle Staub? More important, do the following mug shots - which are printed in the book and attributed to Beverly Merrill - look like Staub?

It doesn't take a conspiracy theorist (just someone with decent eyesight) to believe that these are mug shots of Danielle Staub.
