Patrick Francis Brooks's tattoo: he was easy to pick out in the police lineup

By Mona Goldwater

Patrick Francis Brooks, in the cooler at the Shasta County Jail, is being held without bond on charges of burglary, parole violations, receiving stolen property, and forgery. Brooks was arrested by the Redding, California heat July 11 after he tried to cash a bogus check from Cottonwood Bible Baptist Church.

The owner of the check-cashing store told police the tattoo made him a little suspicious; the fact that Brooks blacked out the church's phone number on the check nailed it. The check-cashing guy called the minister of the church and found out he did not write the check. Later police found the church had been burgled for $200 and some checkbooks.
