Q: My cousin is on probation for fraud use of id, and she has stolen my identity. Is there a way to report this to her PO?
I was arrested on two warrants for worthless check. I never cashed those checks. Another check from Amscott has come up. Written from her account, to me, and cashed with my DL. She looks very much like me. She has also been arrested for altering a state certificate. The Amscott check has a fingerprint on the front, which does not belong to me. I'm wondering how I should go about this. And if there is a way infact to contact her probation officer?
A:
Your legal team could make a decision to voluntarily make a statement to the police and have your fingerprints taken by the law enforcement agency which arrested you. The police will then find that the prints do not match and begin an investigation of your cousin to determine if her prints do in fact match. Assuming that a match is found the prosecution will nolle pros (or drop) the charges against you and the police will arrest your cousin for the new charges as well as violation of probation. Merely alleging all of this will not be sufficient. You'll need to take immediate action.
