An east coast man was arrested Thursday after deputies found credit cards, checkbooks and other personal information that didn't belong to him in his car during a traffic stop in Golden Gate.Odlen Pierre-Louis, 33, of Miami, was charged with identity theft.
Arrest reports say Pierre-Louis was driving a 1998 Chevrolet Monte Carlo west on Interstate 75 near the 96 mile marker about 12:50 p.m. when deputies stopped him for having illegal window tint. Pierre-Louis’ brake lights were not working when he pulled over, reports said.
A search of the Monte Carlo turned up credit cards, photocopies of driver’s licenses, credit card applications, utility bills and bank statements with the names of various individuals, reports said.
Deputies also found a handwritten form that contained the names of about 20 individuals, along with dates of birth and Social Security numbers, reports said.
Pierre-Louis told deputies he did not know any of the individuals and was not sure how their IDs and personal information got inside his car, reports said.
Pierre-Louis was also charged with marijuana possession after deputies say they found two small bags of marijuana inside his car.
