AUGUSTA, GA — A 21-year-old woman in head-to-toe Joker cosplay — complete with green-dyed braids, white greasepaint, a smeared red Glasgow grin, and a purple pinstripe suit — was arrested Monday night after blowing through a stop sign on Walton Way, leading to a traffic stop that revealed her license had been suspended since January and that she was, in her words, “not bound by the rules of a society she didn’t ask to join.”
Harley Quinn Jessamine Voss — yes, that is her legal name, according to booking records — was pulled over at approximately 11:40 p.m. on April 20th after running a stop sign at the intersection of Walton Way and Thirteenth Street without so much as tapping the brake. The arresting officer activated his lights. Voss continued for another two blocks before pulling into the parking lot of a closed Party City, which officers noted was “almost certainly intentional.”
Why So Suspended?
When Officer Derek Blanton of the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office approached the vehicle — a 2007 Nissan Altima with a bumper sticker reading “MY OTHER RIDE IS THE BATMOBILE” — Voss reportedly rolled down the window, turned slowly to face him in full Joker makeup, and said, “Do you want to know how I got these scars?” Officer Blanton, unmoved, asked for license and registration.
“She handed me a Joker playing card. I said, ‘Ma’am, I need your actual driver’s license.’ She said, ‘That IS my license. In Gotham.’ I said, ‘We’re in Augusta.’ She stared at me for about ten seconds and then said, ‘Same energy.'” — Officer Derek Blanton, Richmond County SO
A records check revealed that Voss’s Georgia driver’s license had been suspended in January 2026 following an accumulation of unpaid traffic citations — including, somewhat poetically, two prior failure-to-stop violations. Voss was taken into custody on charges of failure to stop or yield from a stop sign, driving while license suspended or revoked, and other authorities safekeeping.
During booking at the Richmond County Jail, Voss declined to remove her makeup for the standard booking photo, resulting in what is now the most-shared mugshot in JailReport.lol history. The front-and-side booking photos show her grinning maniacally in full white greasepaint, black-ringed eyes, blood-red lips, and green cornrow braids — braces visible through the smile. When asked by the booking officer if she had any additional aliases, she reportedly said, “I’m whatever Augusta needs me to be.” The officer wrote “none” on the form.
Voss was held on safekeeping for another jurisdiction and is awaiting a bond hearing. Her mugshot has been filed in the Mugshot Hall of Fame with a site-wide editor’s note reading: “We’ve processed 14,000 bookings. This is the one.” As of press time, the comments section is divided between people calling for her release and people calling for her to be cast in the next DC film. She has not commented, though a source close to Voss says she is “very pleased with the lighting in the booking photo.”
