Mark Cropp got his facial tattoo in prison and has been reoffending since he was released. The Herald then sought his full criminal history which was eventually granted by the court. “The arresting officer attempted to grab [Cropp’s] arm to place him in handcuffs and he pulled away,” court documents state. “She wants to keep a close eye on me, with having the pacemaker,” Cropp told Judge Hix. The lawyer told the court Cropp wanted to move on with his life but the “repeated incursions of the media have put a strain” on him.
