Police didn’t describe Ward’s physical appearance — and didn’t need to. A mugshot of Ward displayed his unusual face tattoo, which covered the area below his eyes. Officials also released a photo of Ward's vehicle, a Black Chevy Cruze, to help locate him.

The mugshot caught the public’s attention, prompting nearly 3,000 shares on Facebook. Ward was captured about eight hours later.
