Student cited for fake ID after losing wallet
A man was cited after losing his wallet.
A student who lost his wallet was called into the University of Arizona Police Department station last Tuesday. A black Volcom wallet had been turned into the CatCard office earlier in the day. A woman working there said she had looked in the wallet to find identification when she saw two California driver’s licenses, both with the same name but different birthdays. The woman said she had e-mailed the student to let him know that she had his wallet, but wanted to show the police what she had discovered.
Police contacted the student, who agreed to meet with them at the UAPD station. When police saw that he matched the picture on his ID, they asked him about the wallet. He said he had lost it four or five days ago at an unknown location.
Police then asked the man about the fake ID. He admitted it was his and said that it was a bad copy so he does not try to get into clubs with it, but he does buy beer at stores with it.
The student was cited and released for possession of a fictitious driver’s license and referred to the Dean of Students Office.

Another student came up to officers, saying that he had witnessed the two fighting. The male student in question said that he and his girlfriend had been arguing but nothing happened.
The man gave the police the name of the girl, and she was contacted. She told officers that they had gotten into an argument but that he had not pushed or hit her. Police told her that they smelled intoxicants on her breath and asked if she had been drinking. She admitted to having a few beers with her boyfriend before going out.
