False Identification Results in Dismissal

Police arrested an individual who falsely presented my client’s name and date of birth. My client was not at the scene of the crime and didn’t do anything wrong. I presented information to the District Attorney that demonstrated that my client was not the person arrested, including showing that my client’s signature on his driver’s license did not match the signature on the Notice to Appear. The District Attorney reviewed our presentation and agreed that my client was not the person arrested at the scene. They dismissed the case at the first court date. I am currently filing for a finding of factual innocence so that my client’s arrest record can be cleared.
