Here is an accurate timeline I put together of all of Jeffrey Dahmer’s mugshots:

October 1981 Jeffrey Dahmer was arrested for Disorderly Conduct and Resisting Arrest after being drunk and abusive towards staff at the Ramada Inn in Bath, Ohio

August 1982 Jeffrey Dahmer was arrested and charged with Disorderly Conduct after he was caught indecently exposing himself (urinating) in front of a large group of people at the Wisconsin State Fair

Unknown This mugshot is rare and it is not known exactly what it was for. It could possibly be after the September 1986 arrest for masturbating in public. Two boys saw Dahmer and reported him to the police. The initial charges were Lewd and Lascivious Behaviour and Indecent Exposure. He was then charged in March 1987 for Disorderly Conduct. It could also possibly be for the 1988 Second Degree Sexual Assault arrest. He was charged in 1989 and given 1 year in the House of Correction and 5 years of probation.

July 1991 Jeffrey Dahmer was arrested on 22 July 1991 after police had found polaroid photos of men in various stages of dismemberment, and had also found skulls, skeletons and different dismembered body parts in his apartment. The first photo (no glasses) was taken on 23 July when he was first taken back to the police station and started to confess; it’s clear he was still intoxicated. The second photo (with glasses) was taken on 24 July, the day after the initial mugshot was taken

July 1991 Jeffrey Dahmer was initially charged with 4 counts of First Degree Intentional Homicide and Habitual Criminality. This was his first court appearance on 25 July 1991

April 1992 Jeffrey Dahmer was extradited to Ohio to be charged with the murder of Steven Hicks in 1978. He entered a plea of guilty and was given his 16th life sentence during this trial
