Tattoo Is What Gave Away Wanted Man's Identity

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- A tattoo helped Chaska police discover that a man, wanted on multiple warrants, was lying about his identity.

During a routine driver's license check, an officer learned that a man had numerous active arrest warrants.

The man denied that it was him and gave the officer a false name.

The officer didn't believe him because a tattoo with the name that was on the warrants was visible on the man's arm.

The man was arrested on the warrants and also charged with giving false information to a police officer.
