Man Tries To Chew Off His Fingertips To Avoid Being Identified By Cops[Graphic Video]

This is the true meaning of "desperate times calls for desperate measures" this guy was very desperate. What started as a traffic stop turned into something bizarre. The vehicle, driven by Kenzo Roberts, was reported as stolen. A search of the car resulted in a fake ID, a hidden firearm and three fake credit cards. That's when things got 'weird'.

According to the Lee County Sheriff's Office,

As Roberts was being detained in the back of the patrol vehicle, he attempted to remove his own fingerprints by chewing them off and rubbing them against the cage.

This didn't work.

Roberts was eventually identified (using a fingerprint scanner) and it was revealed that he had two existing felony warrants for Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon.

Could you ever be this desperate?
