Bruce Whitehead, 54, seen in photos with the word "sacrifice" tattooed on his forehead
A "brutal rapist" who allegedly mutilated a woman in central Florida has been arrested after authorities asked for the public's help to find the heavily tattooed suspect, the Orange County Sheriff's Office says.
Bruce Whitehead, 54, was captured Thursday morning after a tip from an "observant resident," the office said in a social media post.
"Thank you to our community members and media partners for making sure his face was everywhere," the post read.
Whitehead, who has the word "sacrifice" tattooed on his forehead, was wanted for allegedly raping a woman on Dec. 10.
A corporal with the sheriff office's sex crimes unit called Whitehead a monster after saying he mutilated a woman and described it as a "particularly horrific" attack. The woman survived and is expected to recover, but told authorities she thought Whitehead was going to kill her, and that she did not consent to sex.

Everything's wrong with our system. We don't have an answer to serial criminals...

SPJNK.
That was my first question! Whatever happened to the writing and sentence construction skills that use to be taught in school? Did these “journalists” go to college?
I respectfully disagree. He should be released - into a grave in a pine box. Execution beforehand optional.

There are no failing Journalism majors because the colleges need the money
He will have a very liberal female public defender appointed to represent him. She will fall in love with him, smuggle contraband to him and try to arrange his escape.
Yep. Short drop with a rope.
We are not supposed to. It is part of the plan to destroy America.
