SUSPECT CHEWS OFF HIS FINGERPRINTS

A fugitive from Tampa, Florida, who didn’t want to be identified by his fingerprints during a traffic stop in Tallmadge, Ohio, chewed them off. Kirk Kelly and several other people were put into a cruiser without handcuffs after their vehicle was stopped last weekend and officers thought they smelled drugs. Police say Kelly gave false names as they tried to identify him. Despite chewing off his fingerprints, Tallmadge Police were able to positively identify Kirk Kelly by his tattoos from photos provided by police in Florida.
* You have to admire the commitment … I think.
* Looking in the rearview mirror, the officers just thought he was chewing his fingernails with extreme enthusiasm.
* So he should have chewed through the tattoos as well.
* It was hard because the tattoos were on his neck and back.
* Maybe one of the other people arrested could have chewed them off for him?
* “Dude … you taste like chicken.”
* One phrase you will never hear: Kirk Kelly, criminal mastermind.
* He gave them the first fake name he could think of: Donald Rubio.
* So, it sounds like the bath salts have made it to Ohio.
