Man Busted for Pot Tries Chewing Off Fingertips

041410print.jpg One Keith Simmonds Jr. was arrested in New Jersey Sunday night after cops found marijuana in his vehicle. But Simmonds wasn't about to go out like that, and hatched an ingenious plan to stymie police. After getting cuffed and placed in the back of the squad car, Simmonds "managed to move his handcuffed arms to the front of his body, kick out the side window of the patrol car and escape while officers used a drug-detection dog to search his car," sources tell the AP. It's unclear where he went from there, but when the cops caught him again, his fingertips were bloody—they say he was trying to remove of his fingerprints with his teeth! Either that, or he was gripped by the worst munchies ever.

    A for effort.

    Have to admire the can-do spirit this shows.

    Dillinger tried removing his fingerprints, and I believe it resulted in scarred fingerprints that were super identifiable.

  • Serious case of the munchies...
