Face-tattooed man accused in storage-unit thefts

GODFREY – Authorities in Madison County are searching out anyone who may have bought things from an alleged burglar of storage units, and they're confident the purchasers will remember the seller.

Adam Roberts, 24, was charged Friday with three felony burglary counts related to thefts discovered last month from as many as 28 storage units in his southwestern Illinois hometown of Godfrey.

What makes Roberts distinctive is the skeleton-style tattoo over his face — artwork that Madison County sheriff's Capt. Mike Dixon calls "just odd."
