Police say a 47-year-old man was arrested Saturday as he was trying to buy a car worth over $42,000 — using another person's identity.

Tallahassee Police Department officers arrested Sean Jones at the Proctor Honda dealership after staff ran a credit report revealing the name Jones used was a victim of identity theft.

According to TPD, Jones presented a fraudulent driver’s license, signed a purchase agreement and credit application and presented an insurance card all under the stolen identity.

Jones is facing charges of criminal use of identification, grand theft over $20,000, forgery, and possession of a counterfeit driver’s license.
