Call Me Emiliano
An officer on patrol in Twin Falls, Idaho, was suspicious when he saw three men and a dog walking in the street, and stopped to check them out. One man identified himself as Emiliano Velesco; a computer check turned up nothing. But then the officer saw the tattoo on the man’s forearm that read “CONTRERAS”, so he gave dispatch that name with the birthdate that “Velesco” had provided. Sure enough, there was a warrant for that man. The officer printed a picture of Dylan Edward Contreras, 19, who looked remarkably like the man who identified himself as Velesco. The officer arrested him on three outstanding warrants — relating to charges of providing false information, and underage drinking.
