Cops Find Traffic Stop Suspect Thanks To Face Tattoo

Yet another reason not to get your face tatted up. AZ Family describes how Albert Tejeda's face art helped cops ID him after he took off during a routine traffic stop.

Police pulled over Tejeda, but when the deputy approached his car, he took off. Fortunately, the deputy got a good look at Tejeda's mug and noticed the tattoos. They cross referenced his Motor Vehicle Division records and photo and got his name.

What was Tejeda hiding from the cops? Officials aren't sure but it could have been the contents of his gym bag.

Deputies caught up to the suspect as he was walking near Second Street and Cameron Avenue. He was allegedly carrying a duffle bag with a Samurai-style sword sticking out.

Maybe Tejada took off because people automatically assume a guy with tattoos on his face is a criminal.  Face tattoos give a guy that guilty look. It's not a life choice for the average guy. You wouldn't see an accountant with permanent ink all over his face. If you do, you should use another accountant.
