Here's the story, straight from the Police Blotter.
A wallet was turned over to police after it was accidentally left behind at an Anacortes business. Employees of the business became suspicious because the wallet contained numerous driver’s licenses and identification cards showing the same man using different names.
Officers traced the man to an apartment in the 3600 block of Michelle Lane after being provided with the license number of the car he was driving. A man matching the driver license pictures answered the door and he told officers he did not have identification, although he verbally identified himself. The man was placed under arrest for investigation of forgery.
Officers located another wallet in the man’s pocket that contained several more identification cards with the man’s picture, but again with different names. The man was advised of his rights but declined to answer any questions concerning his true identity. The man was booked into jail for investigation of forgery as a “John Doe.”
Officers obtained a search warrant for the man’s room and seized numerous birth certificates and identifications in different names, identification making materials, two laptop computers, and a diary detailing the man’s life on the run. Officers also located what appeared to be a legitimate ID that identified the man as a 44-year-old from Arizona.
The man’s identity was confirmed by the jail staff through his fingerprints. It was discovered he had warrants for his arrest from Maricopa County Arizona for eleven counts of child molestation and failing to comply with his release conditions. The man had also been featured on the television show “America’s Most Wanted” in 2008 after fleeing custody in Arizona. The man was also being held in jail on charges of being a fugitive from justice.
