A few weeks back I was on a houseboat on
Shasta Lake in Northern California. On the Friday I got off the boat, my dad called me to let me know that I'd been arrested the night before in Las Vegas, more than 700 miles away from Lake Shasta.
I found that amusing. Turns out my little brother, who knows ALL my info including Driver's License number and social security number, passed himself off as me. And was arrested for "failure to appear" on tickets that he'd received a few months ago using MY information again.
He said he used my information because he didn't think there were warrants out for MY arrest, but knew there were warrants out for HIS arrest (as mentioned in the last paragraph, there were indeed warrants out for MY arrest because he used my name on traffic citations a few months before and then "failed to appear" - I knew nothing about them).
Anyway... I called a detective in 'Vegas and told him that **I** definitely HAD NOT been arrested and could prove that I was 700+ miles north at the time. He asked me to go to a local police station to be fingerprinted to compare my prints to those of the person arrested in my name. I agreed to do so.
In the meantime, I called my little brother and told him that he needed to decide what he was going to do.
So yesterday, a few weeks after the incident described above, he decides to use my info AGAIN when question by a cop. Only this time the cops had my name flagged, knowing that someone might try to pass themself off as ME again.
WHAT SORT OF DUMB ASS WOULD TRY TO PASS HIMSELF OFF AS ME AGAIN KNOWING THAT THE COPS WERE AWARE THAT MY ID WAS WRONGFULLY USED????
