Florida Man Chews Off Fingerprints To Escape Identification

Darpan News Desk IANS, 03 Aug, 2015 12:32 PM
    A theft accused in Florida tried to chew off his own fingerprints so that he cannot be identified, media reported.
     
    When traffic policemen in Florida's Lee county stopped 20-year-old Kenzo Roberts, who was driving a Mercedes that had been reported stolen, he began to remove his own fingerprints by chewing them off and rubbing them against the car.
     
    "The driver was using a fake ID, had a handgun and three fraudulent credit cards," Lee county sheriff was quoted as saying on Sunday by abc13.com.
     
    However, a fingerprint scanner identified Roberts and showed he had two felony warrants for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

    Afghan Drawdown: New conflict or back-door occupation?
    When, in mid-1945, the allied armies advancing across Western Europe were ordered to halt to enable the marauding Soviet forces perform the final denouement of the Second World War by capturing Berlin, it sowed the seeds of the Cold War that lasted almost half-a-century and whose present-day ramifications are there for all to see.
