Kenzo Roberts is seen on surveillance video gnawing his fingers, chewing and then swallowing as he sits in the back of a patrol car.
He had been stopped by Lee County Sheriff's deputies for driving a stolen Mercedes. He also had a fake ID, three fake credits cards and a concealed firearm, WPTV reported yesterday.
Despite his self-mutilation, fingertip scanners quickly identified the suspect. Roberts was also wanted on a warrant from Broward County for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, New York Daily News reported.
The US Border Patrol said Roberts was in the country illegally.
