Man Chews Off Fingertips To Avoid Being Identified By Police


Story out of Tallmadge, Ohio:

A man on Tampa's most wanted list chewed off his fingerprints during a traffic stop in Tallmadge Sunday to try to keep police from figuring out his identity.

Kirk Kelly, 24, is facing multiple charges in Summit County and the jail is also holding him without bond as a wanted fugitive for Florida authorities.

Officers pulled over a car around 3 a.m. on North Thomas Road after plates showed that the owner had a suspended license.

When police approached the car, officers said they could smell an odor of marijuana. The officers asked the four people inside to get out so they could search the vehicle, according to the report. They were put in the back of the police cruiser without handcuffs.

All of the occupants provided identification, but Kelly couldn't tell officers his social security number, according to the report.

Since he wasn't cooperating, one of the officers went back to the station to pick up a mobile fingerprint scanner. However, while he was gone, Kelly "bit his fingerprints off each finger," according to the report, causing them to bleed. Cont. (Video/Autoplay)
