Good Name Gone

You think that's bad. The person who stole my Identity is now a convicted murderer. Not to mention his 4 other felonies all attributed to me.

The funny thing was, he was a fugitive for the murder charge the first time he used my name, looked nothing like me, had totally way different stats, was in my home town where I had been arrested and booked (dismissed case) but they had my info on file.

He was 6 years younger than me. He had no ID, so they filled in his arrest sheet with my details from my arrest. He was Identified while in jail. Paperwork was mis-placed and he made bail under my name. Never went to court.

I was convicted in his absence for 3 felonies and warrants were issued for my arrest. I was on the run and hid from authorities for over 10 years. I subsequently ended up broke and homeless because I couldn't get a job in my previous line of work. I started working in privately owned bars and nightclubs to get off the streets.

And now I deliver pizzas. There is a lot more. Criminal Identity Theft sucks, but stupid cops suck more.
