Disturbing footage reportedly showing a suspect chewing off his own fingertips in a desperate bid not to be identified has been released by the Lee County Sheriff's Office. 

Kenzo Roberts, 20, was arrested by the Lee County Sheriff's Office Highway Interdiction Team in Fort Myers, Florida, late last month after being stopped in a Mercedes which had been reported stolen. After discovering that Roberts had a fake ID and was carrying a firearm and false credit cards, not to mention driving a stolen car, he was arrested and placed into the back of a patrol car.

Once in the back of the vehicle, Roberts began methodically chewing off his fingerprints. "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. A fingerprint scanner quickly identified Roberts and showed two felony warrants for his arrest out of Broward County for Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon," the Sheriff's Office wrote in a Facebook post.

Roberts was charged with Possession of a Counterfeit Credit Card (3X), Grand Theft Auto, Possession of a Concealed Firearm, Possession of Similitude of a Driver's License, Driving while License Suspended, and False Identification given to law enforcement.

Border Patrol was also contacted and discovered that Roberts was in the country illegally.
