Foiled Felon: Wanted Man Gives Police a Fake Name

In the end, it didn't matter who Jonothan Gonsalez said he was, he was going to jail anyway.

During a traffic stop last Monday in Great Falls, Mont., Gonsalez knew he would be heading to prison – he had three outstanding warrants and half a gram of meth in his pocket. Time to hatch a brilliant plan: Give the officer a different name to get off the hook. So, Gonsalez said he was Timothy Michael Koop. Smooth move – until the cop ran Koop's details and found out that man was also wanted.

He was taken to the Cascade County Detention Center presumed to be Koop, but the following day the man really know as Gonsalez was unable to keep his lip zipped, divulging his real name to a staff member. At that point, his deception (and his three outstanding warrants) were uncovered, and his $5,000 bail for the single drug charge was tripled to $15,000 for issuing a false report to police.

I had a case like that once. We suspected this woman that had just moved to town was using her kids to steal from shops. We did not know her name. Saw her driving and her car was a piece of garbage so we decided to stop her and defect her car and use that as the legal way to obtain her details.

She gave us her name and we ran it. Turns out she had used this name several times before and got away with it, however on teh previous occasions she had not shown up to court so her alias now had several warrants. We advised her that she had warrants and would be arrested. At this point she decided to tell us her real name, so we arrested her for stating a false name.

Further enquiries showed that she had been caught numerous times using her alias which had resulted in charges that turned to warrants. We then had to charge her (under her real name) for those charges again, as well as a false name charge for each of those. In addition we defected her car off the road and charged her with a heap of theft matters. She had only just moved into town and felt pretty cocky given that she figured the local cops didn't know her. She moved out of town soon after that.

Happens all the time.

I stopped one moron that had stolen his cousin's birth certificate while visiting family out of state. He used the stolen BC to get a new driver's license because his own was revoked many times over. He thought he was so slick.

What he (George Smith) didn't count on was his cousin (Joe Johnson) being a bigger idiot than he was. When I ran the DL, Joe Johnson was wanted in Alabama for serious felony. All the info and descriptors matched. After being cuffed and advised he woud be extradited several states away, the conversation went something like:

George: "Officer, I have a confession. I'm not really Joe Johnson. My real name is George Smith".

Me: "No, it's not. Your name is Joe Johnson. Your driver's license says so".

George: "I know, I stole my cousin's ID. I got a fake license".

Me: "It's not fake. It's got your picture on it. There's a record in the system. It's real enough for me".

George: "But it's not me, really. I got a real license using my cousin's name".

Me: "No, this is you. Joe Johnson. Says so right here... and you're going to get sent to Alabama".

George: (panicking) "No, officer! I'm really George Smith. Honest to God I am!"

Me: "No, you're not. As far as I'm concerned you're Joe Johnson. If you lied somewhere along the way, that's your problem. How do I know you're not lying right now? Maybe you can get it sorted out in Alabama".

This went on and on and on, all the way to the Jail. I kept maintaining that I didn't care, as far as I was concerned, he was Joe Johnson. By the time we got there, poor George was crying real tears, pleading with me, promising never ever to lie to the police again. He eventually got an Obstructing charge, a Falsifying ID to DMV charge, along with several other tickets.

Wow! I finally found an imperfection in Curt!

Curt, Sir, how is you know to put the exclamation mark INSIDE the quotation marks, but don't put any of your PERIODS INSIDE the quotation marks? huh? Huh? You don't know how many times I want to tell you LEOs to put your periods inside the quotation marks, LMAO. Sorry, I edit a LOT of people's writing at work.

You don't know how many times I want you to multi-quote.

I have many on here. It's funny though I'm an easy going guy, but sometimes the littlest things irritate me.

Oh Puh Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez.....you ain't seen nothin yet. Besides, I didn't want to appear to have come unglued. snicker, snicker, snort

i'll try to do better next time......NOT.....

Greg. First of all, my pet peeve is A UNIVERSAL RULE OF ENGLISH, moosebreath.

Poor English can keep you from being promoted so I'm trying to be of use here on RP since I don't know sh** about law enforcement and trying to help you LEOs look good on the grammar front!

Multi-quoting on the other hand, is a matter of style and choice, of which I don't even agree with if you have lots of graphics, or lots of wording, or you are doing something for emphasis, etc., etc., etc. . So THERE. HA.

I once got promoted after multi-quoting on here.

[SANE-A30]

I agree with Trip on the bunches of words but I also like it better b/c I feel that it is more " personable" but that's just me and living in my world......
