UNDESIRABLE IDENTITY THEFT

(Clinton, Conn.) According to the Associated Press, James Perry had too many drunken driving convictions so he stole the name and identity of a neighbor, Robert Kowalski. Everything was fine until he was arrested for disorderly conduct and said he was Robert Kowalski. A routine computer check revealed that Kowalski was a convicted sex offender and had not properly registered as required by state law.

Seems that a background check may be appropriate prior to stealing someone's identity.
