‘Busted,’ a tabloid format newspaper started selling in Portland, OR a couple of weeks ago. According to a KPTV news video, the mug-shot magazine is finding an eager readership. ‘Busted’ has its roots and a sister tabloid in Grand Rapids/Kent County Michigan. It is published by Semi Valley Sound LLC, owned by Dan O. from the Ocala, Florida area and is incorporated in Delaware. ‘Arrested’ is a similar publication that has recently made a debut in Montgomery, Green, Butler, and Warren counties, Ohio. It too is, “flying off the shelves.”  Richard Turner, a local store manager, said it has been a popular item—his store sold hundreds of copies. He said some people like to see their friends, neighbors and family in print.
“I had a woman come in Monday who saw her boyfriend on the cover and bought five copies for herself and her parents,” Turner said. “She was proud in a peculiar way.”
“Busted” sells for $1 and is published every two weeks.
