Usually when you commit a crime, police investigators can identify you by the fingerprints you leave behind. But…what if you don’t HAVE fingerprints?

Kenzo Roberts, 20, was taken into custody on a highway outside of Fort Myers after he was pulled over in a 2015 Mercedes.

Video footage from inside the Lee County Sheriff’s Office car show the young man chewing at the tips of his fingers and rubbing them vigorously against the backseat cage.

He was seen on camera swallowing bits of skin as he looks around to make sure he wasn’t being watched.

Watch the video below. Despite his best effort, fingerprint scanners were still able to identify him.
