Identity Thief Page #4

And that was this morning?

I just left the house.

Except for the gas station that I went to,

where my card got chopped in half

by an angry man in a glass box, okay?

So, first things first,

I need a fresh card in the mail.

And Loretta,

I need you on the stick to unscrew me.

This is clearly on your end. This is not me.

Or I'll fix it. Where's the surf shop?

Well, sir, it's in Winter Park, Florida.

Florida? I'm in Colorado, you know, so...

- Damn it.

- Excuse me?

Unbelievable. I gotta call you back.

- Driver.

- Sorry!

Pull the vehicle to the side of the road.

NCIC says 10-29F, use caution.

Step out of the vehicle, Mr. Patterson.

Okay, coming out of the vehicle

for hands-free?

That seems just a little bit excessive.

Mr. Patterson, you're under arrest.

Under arrest?

You have the right to remain silent.

Hey, wait a second.

Anything you say can and will be

used against you in a court of law.

The arresting officer

ran your license through the NCIC.

You were booked for felony assault

two weeks ago in Florida.

What? No, I wasn't.

What are you talking about?

- I've never even been to Florida.

- You've never been to Florida?

No, sir. This whole morning...

Well, hang on a second.

Was it Winter Park, Florida?

See, that's good.

We're dropping the whole

"there's been a mistake" thing.

I got it now. Listen...

The problem is, Mr. Patterson,

is that you missed your court date

three days ago in Florida.

Officer, let me just explain.

And the judge has

issued a warrant for your arrest.

- Yeah...

- So what we're gonna do

is we're gonna go ahead

and ship you back down to Florida.

You can work on your tan.

Sir. Yeah, listen. You're not listening.

- Sit down.

- Sorry.

There's a person that has my same name

that is doing things in Florida.

This guy is making salon appointments,

he's buying beach equipment.

He's maxing out my credit card.

Are you Sandy Bigelow Patterson,

born May 18th, 1974?

That is you, correct?

Yeah, but it's not me doing this stuff.

I've never even been to the state.

I'm here with you guys.

I'm in Colorado. How can I be in Florida?

Call Winter Park PD. Pull the mug shot.

Okay, uncuff him.

Uncuff me. That's great.

Can I see?

Whoa.

Is that a woman?

If I had to guess,

it's the woman that stole your identity,

obviously taking advantage

of the fact that you have a female name.

Oh, it's not female, it's unisex.

When you say "stole my identity,"

do you mean credit card fraud?

Oh, no, no, it's a lot worse than that.

What happens is,

they get a hold of your name,

your birthday, Social Security.

And then they run up debt,

get arrested, commit crimes as you.

What do you do now?
