LOWER PAXTON, Pa. --
Robert Anwar Nicks.
A fugitive wanted on robbery and weapons charges went to great lengths to conceal his identity, including trying to chew off the skin of his own fingers so he couldn't be fingerprinted, Lower Paxton Township police say.
Robert Anwar Nicks, 24, ran across an interstate and ditched two handguns, a 9-mm and a .45, and tried to hijack two cars, assaulting one owner, before bystanders and police restrained him Wednesday, police said.
Officers spotted Nicks in the 200 block of North Mountain Road after getting an anonymous tip.
After authorities took Nicks into custody, he refused to provide information or turn over identification. They said he also attempted to chew the skin off his fingertips, but was unsuccessful.
Authorities were able to get prints and positively identify the man as Nicks. He is facing weapons and drug charges in Charlotte, N.C.
Nicks is now in prison, being held on $150,000 bond, and is now facing 13 charges from Lower Paxton Township incidents.
Definitely not the sharpest knife in the drawer...
