21-year-old Carlos Sturgus of Mesa, Arizona, was arrested last week for shooting another man. Sturgus was apparently arguing with another man on the balcony of his apartment, and when the man left, Sturgus began shooting at him. A shootout ensued, and one of Sturgus’ shots apparently struck the other man in the back.
According to the Phoenix New Times, Sturgus was found by detectives in Glendale, Arizona, after a witness identified him.
I’ll bet you’ll never guess how he was identified. And no, it wasn’t because of the sneakers he was wearing.
A neighbor helped identify Sturgus to police by informing them he had a Yankees tattoo on his forehead.
He also reportedly told police he was carrying the gun because “he has robbed many people in Mesa and many people want to kill him…”
I’d say something about how dumb this guy is for confessing robberies to the cops while he’s wanted for possession of a firearm and assault with a deadly weapon, but then again, this is the same guy who got a Yankees tattoo on his forehead. You almost have to expect stupidity from stupidity. He’s actually doing the public a favor by getting a tattoo like that because it’s just a shortcut that let’s us all know what an idiot he is.
