LABETTE COUNTY, Kan. — Southeast Kansas authorities arrested a man last week who was reportedly carrying 17 fake IDs, and treasury checks.
A deputy with the Labette County Sheriff’s Office stopped a Honda HR-V Friday night for allegedly driving 50 mph in a 25 mph zone. During the traffic stop, officers say the driver identified himself as Desmond Wood, of New York.
According to Sheriff Darren Eichinger, in an “open air sniff” of the vehicle with a K-9, the dog gave a positive response for narcotics leading to a search. Officers say they uncovered 17 fake IDs with Wood’s picture, over $8,000 in cash and 10 Treasury checks made out to each fake identity, the office said; five of which had already been cashed in Tulsa.
