New Hampshire Man With Patriots Helmet Tattooed On Head Arrested In Florida

BOSTON (CBS) -- It's rare that an arrest for drug possession in Florida would garner much attention in Massachusetts, but this one is too unbelievable to be ignored.

New Hampshire native Victor Thompson was arrested last month for possession of a synthetic marijuana, according to a report by The Smoking Gun that was later confirmed by St. Petersburg police.

The story of the arrest is rather unexceptional, but it was Thompson's booking photos that were eye-catching.

Thompson can clearly be identified due to the Patriots helmet tattooed on his head.

The tattoo is a work of art, with Patriots logos on either side of his head, the Riddell logo written across his forehead, an NFL logo and American flag near the collar, and even a green dot on the back, signifying that his helmet has the special radio device that allows him to hear the coach's calls. That's one fancy helmet.

Thompson's helmet tattoo also has several signatures on it, including Randy Moss, Rob Gronkowski and Wes Welker. There's also a large Lombardi Trophy to celebrate the team's three Super Bowl victories.
