FORT LEWIS, Wash. -- A man wanted for an armed robbery at a bikini espresso stand in Parkland is in custody after driving onto Fort Lewis without stopping.

The Pierce County Sheriff’s Office says 28-year-old Patrick Lamp was caught late Tuesday night by Fort Lewis Military Police. MP’s say they noticed a white Buick Riviera that ran the main gate without stopping. MP’s chased the car, which later crashed.

He was booked into the Pierce County Jail on numerous charges including robbery.

Lamp was wanted in connection with the armed robbery of a Java Girls espresso on Jan. 3. He is also suspected in multiple armed robberies in the Tacoma area.

He has numerous tattoos, including a large "666" on the back of his head, the words "Anti-Christ" on his neck, a burning cross on his throat, a teardrop below his left eye and the words "game" and "over" on his eyelids. His scalp is covered by a demon-like tattoo with fangs at his hairline.
