Alpharetta Police Arrest Powder Springs Woman With Multiple Identities
The following arrest information was supplied by the Alpharetta Department of Public Safety. It does not indicate a conviction
A Powder Springs woman who had two driver's licenses from different states and with different names on them – but her photo – was arrested on charges that she fraudulently used credit cards and identities.
Alpharetta police were called to Best Buy on North Point Drive on Nov. 19 after a woman opened an account with what turned out to be a fake New York license. She used the account to buy two iPad Airs in a $1,068 transaction. However, she left the fake license behind at the store.
When an officer stopped the woman on GA 400 northbound, he reported that she had opened a credit card account and attempted to buy the iPads.
