Lohan Suspect Has Drug Conviction
TMZ has learned the 18-year-old dude arrested for burglarizing Lindsay Lohan's home is no stranger to trouble -- Nicholas Prugo was arrested earlier this year on a cocaine charge.
Prugo was busted near L.A. back in February for possession of coke. This is his mug shot from that arrest. Prugo plead guilty and entered an 18-month drug diversion program.
Law enforcement sources tell us Prugo may have violated the terms of his diversion program for something unrelated to the burglary -- he's due back in court to deal with that in November.
Prugo was also arrested last month in Beverly Hills ... we're told it was for DUI.
As TMZ first reported, Prugo was arrested yesterday on suspicion of the Lohan burglary. And we're told he's a suspect in the Audrina Patridge break-in.

The fab five -- including Nina Dobrev, Candice Accola, Kayla Ewell and Sara Canning from "Vampire Diaries" -- were all arrested on August 22 after cops say they received 911 calls from people claiming a few hotties were "flashing motorists" and "hanging" from a bridge in Smarr, GA.
The police report, obtained by The Smoking Gun, says the lovely ladies were taking part in a photo shoot set up by a guy named Tyler Shields -- who was also arrested that day.
All six were booked for disorderly conduct and charged with a total of $4,000 in fines -- TSG says Tyler paid the whole tab.

Johnny boy just posted pictures of the checks he wrote to Pet Orphans of Southern California and Ace of Hearts -- the two charities we picked for him to split the 25k between after we located his 2001 mug shot.

John Mayer's $25,000 Mug Shot
UPDATE: So The Smoking Gun put the mug up around 5 minutes before us. Before we had it in our hands, we put up a post saying we found the mug and the arrest in Atlanta ... which we posted before they got the mug up. Bottom line -- here's what John said on Twitter: "if Harvey Levin at TMZ can produce my mugshot, I will donate 25k to the charity of his choice."
We found the mug ... so pay up, John.
Here it is -- John Mayer's mug shot.
John was arrested on May 26, 2001 for driving with a suspended license in Atlanta -- the case was dismissed exactly one month later on June 26.
Time to fork over the dough, pal.

TMZ Live -- Mayer's Mug and MJ's Drugs
TMZ went live with Harvey Levin today to answer your questions about how John Mayer's mug shot scored two local animal charities some serious cash -- and the new report which lists the drugs found in Michael Jackson's home.
John Mayer Hates Puppies...
...is what we're going to say if this whole "challenge" he made to TMZ turns out to be complete BS.
Here's the story -- John Mayer posted a challenge on his Twitter page, offering to give $25,000 to the charity of TMZ's choice (an animal charity) if we could produce his mug shot.
We've searched all over the place, and we can't find squat. We've even followed up on a lead that the shot was hidden somewhere in the video game Grand Theft Auto IV. Still, nothing.
So, we turn to you -- the public. If you've ever seen a John Mayer mug shot anywhere in your life -- tell us where the damn thing is.
A puppy's life depends on it...
