A face-tatted Florida man accused of raping and mutilating a woman over the weekend is off the streets thanks to an eagle-eyed citizen, police said Thursday.
Fugitive Bruce Whitehead, 54, tried to hide a massive “Sacrifice” forehead tattoo by wearing a hat — but couldn’t fool an “observant resident” who spotted him early Thursday, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.
The tipster alerted cops to his location and he was taken into custody without incident around 7 a.m., according to police.
Officials said a woman voluntarily got into Whitehead’s car around 4 a.m. Saturday near an Orlando strip club and that he bought her some water at a convenience store.
Whitehead then drove to another location, got out of the vehicle and raped the victim at knifepoint.
Police said he mutilated the woman and attempted to kill her after the sexual assault, but she fought him off and escaped to a nearby subdivision.
They did not elaborate on her injuries.
Why would a sleeze bag like this one need to forcibly rape a woman???
He looks like someone women would be attracted to.
