Macedonia Police Identity Fraud
“Oh brother, who art thou?” A man paid a visit to the Macedonia Police Department July 6, shortly after 3:30p.m. to report his ID had been allegedly taken and used – by his brother.
The man found out about the theft when he was notified about an arrest warrant, in his name, in Walton Hills.
The brother with the warrant told police it wasn’t him, because he had never been in Walton Hills, before the possibly pumped up charges. The man told police his brother had done this before and had been doing it since May.
Walton Hills Police reviewed available dash cam video which showed the brother’s ID was used by his sibling.
However, Macedonia told the man he also had charges in that city. Again, dash cam video exonerated the ID compromised man.
The man, using the borrowed ID, also gave the wrong, again, date for his brother’s birthday. The report did not specify additional charges.
