Tattoos lead to burglary arrest

Tattoos led to the arrest of an Odessa man on a burglary charge Tuesday.

According to an Odessa Police Department report, a West 33rd Street resident called 911 on June 5 to report someone came into a window and stole items, including several guns.

The man provided police video surveillance that showed a man walking up to his house with a black glove on, try the front door and then walk toward the back of the house, the report stated. On a second video, the same man is seen walking away from the home with a large black bag that looked like a rifle bag.

The suspect had a tattoo covering most of his neck and all of his right arm and after speaking with neighbors and looking at Facebook, a detective was able to identify him as James Williams III, the report stated.

A warrant for Williams was issued and he was booked into the Ector County jail Tuesday on suspicion of burglary of a habitation, a second-degree felony.

He remained in custody Wednesday on a $25,000 surety bond.
