sir Okay so anything to Y all right I need you to listen to them I'm about to tell you some I'm about to tell you some very I'm about to tell you some very important information you're going to listen if you keep running your mouth and not letting me talk this is what's happening so right now you being placed under rest or obstruction okay so the image the image on the name and the date of birth that you return does not look like you it looks like someone that significantly older than you okay n none of us are new officers here we we're not just straight out the academy listen listen we're we're not straight out the academy and we weren't just dropped off on the street all right I don't look like I'm 44 years old you do not look like the person on that image I don't look like I'm 44 sir you do not look like the person on that image I mean I'm not we're not we're not the smartest person people but we do have common sense my hat off y talking about it's a darker picture it's a old picture what you mean I do drugs and everything okay you come on Sir all so that goes back to so that that goes back to what I said all right if that is you that's fine if that is me I'm going it's it's going to come back no if you don't [ __ ] so if that's not you then is me if that's not you then probably then I don't I don't know what's going to happen but but let me tell you something but if that is not you when you get fingerprinted then you're going to get another charge of false name and date of birth oh [ __ ] this is if that is not you then that's another charge for false name of dat birth talking about the picture don't look like me cuz it's a couple Shades Darker no it's more than just that sir it's more than just that I just cut my hair I should have left it uncut I just cut my ball head off all right we're going to agree to disagree on this one all right Ain tight before transferring him to jail officers tried one last method of verification comparing the neck tattoo of the person in the provided identification photo have a NE tattoo neck tattoo [Music] hold up hey L where is it at left side all right sir do you have a tattoo where's your tattoo at so I got tattoos right here so okay you don't see my tattoos you don't have one on your neck yeah that's my you don't have one on your neck okay all right I do CCH nope yeah yep got you okay y just take okay convinced that he was lying about his identity officers charged him with obstruction and failure to wear a seat belt before transporting him to the decub county jail yeah but you don't have a net tattoo like the guy in the picture that's the name you gave us so 327 radio 327 go ahead b51 mail of the county jail you don't have a deck tattoo like the guy in the picture so obviously the picture we showed you is not you I don't have a cross tattoo either right the the guy in the picture has a neck tattoo that we've shown you and you said it's you so obviously you're giving us a fake name however the decub County Sheriff's Office office failed to fingerprint him upon booking and he was released on February 8th a warrant was later issued for failure to appear on the obstruction charge nearly a year later on January 23rd 2024 the suspect's brother contacted the Doraville Police Department revealing that his brother had used his identity the warrant was removed from the brother's record and transferred to the true suspect who was now properly identified additional charges were added for identity theft 32717
