Video: Man Spray Paints Face & Neck Black To Trick Police

A man in California spray painted his face and neck black as a last ditch effort in order to fool police.

The Madera Police Department posted about the incident he was involved in on Facebook.

There, it was noted, “Jose Espinoza fled from a stolen car. Officers arrested Jose later in the evening after he fled a second time. This time Jose spray painted his face black in an effort to camouflage himself. The camouflage was ineffective.”

Police were sent to his home on Saturday night following the stolen vehicle occurrence and when they got there, he took off. The accused returned after some time with his face painted black but his disguise didn’t fool the officers.

He was arrested and charged with “theft and unlawful taking or driving of a vehicle and receiving known stolen property.” He was booked into Madera County Jail on Sunday.
