A man is facing burglary charges after being traced by his distinctive tattoos - including a map of Florida on his face.

Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office said Johnathan Hewett, 25, was seen on surveillance video prying open the door of a home last month before taking a gun and two watches. The homeowner identified him as the friend of a former room-mate.

Detectives said the video also showed Hewett's tattoo spelling "red rum" - murder spelled backwards - on his neck. He was released from prison last August after serving eight months for being a felon in possession of a gun.
