I was thinking the same thing. In a funny world, it would have been Victor recognized the dude as someone he sold insurance to. But, in KC's world, that recognition could come from Victor being at the colony. I think quite a few folks are leaning towards Marcus, but I'd be more inclined (and wrong as usual) to think it would be someone else from the colony who we haven't heard from yet. Of course, it could always be one of the Mallers/maller-slave that Victor spotted when he Chuck-Norris-in-Missing-In-Action'ed back into the Colony for CJ and Saul's assault.

Unit brought up a good point about the mallers being in prison, so it is harder to link back to them. However, Ink was being held at Cain Mental hospital. Then, he was transferred back to the jail where the tattoos were inflicted and then brought to the courthouse.
I do not know anything about the legal system, but I could envision a system where someone in prison could be transferred to the jail prior to a court hearing. The jail might serve as a holding cell prior to going to court maybe even overnight or a day or two. This could put Bricks or Tardust or DurAi, in the county jail with Ink.
Like I have said, one line is the tattoos were inflicted, sounds like against his will, but a line shortly after is he paid of Cohen to do it to him. Ambiquity.
So, in summary, bill Roberts was in the mental hospital and brought to the county jail before going to the court house. I think it is plausible that someone might be brought from Eastern Bay to the county jail prior to a court hearing.

I am going to say that I still stand by my original theory on the events at the end of the chapter.....
I didn't know how to do all the fancy colors, but I think with the new information it still holds up.
We need to stop trying to shoehorn Randy into everything...
But....... What if........ The beeping we hear is Skittles showing up with some new "Get Away Zombie" device that he has created in the past few months..... which is why the zombie attacking Datu runs for it....... and then we can successfully shoehorn Skittles back into the Story!!!!
I like this. But my only question would be, if we are assuming that the events happened pretty quickly after Ink was at the jail..... Jail>Transport to Courthouse>Outbreak......... Then how did the prisoners get back to the prison?
It is assumed that when Scratch goes back to break out Latch and the prisoners that she sets them all free, not that someone joins back up with them at a later point.
So somehow we need to get them from the prison to the jail, and then back to the prison all before the outbreak starts..... Unless these are just all new people and we are slowly getting Inks backstory in pieces.
We only need to have one person in the county jail. Not the whole crew. That person hooks up with Scratch to formulate a plan to get the rest
There's at least one other "character" we know of that Victor saw, who no one else paid any attention to--the "freshly turned" Z he searched at the Tower ruins that had the address of CJ's garden in it's pocket. I'm not sure how, or why that Z being Austin would matter, but it's origins remain an un solved mystery.
concerning the identity of McKibben, and at the risk of sounding inappropriate...
when Kelly, in reference to how Ink got his tatoos, says: "Another inmate had a little needle, attached to a tape deck motor, with a sh*tload of ball point pens--no pun intended--but i'm guessing that's how they snuck the stuff in."
now i don't know about you, but unless you're used to having things shoved "up there", you'd have to be pretty desperate to smuggle pens in that way. *cringes*
the only known person that i can think of that might do that would be: Gatekeeper.
