Man cited for trying to pick up vehicle registered under fake license: Columbus police
It was a bad week for a Ulysses man who twice had a run-in with Columbus police.
By News Channel NebraskaCOLUMBUS - It was a bad week for a Ulysses man who twice had a run-in with Columbus police.
The first incident happened on Sunday, when police said officers responded to a hit-and-run near 23rd Street and 33rd Avenue.
CPD said when they tracked the vehicle down, the driver smelled like alcohol and that an 11-year-old was with him. They said after doing a field sobriety test on 39-year-old Silas Alvisures Marroquin, they arrested him on suspicion of DUI, leaving the scene of an accident and transporting a child while intoxicated. They also impounded his vehicle.
It didn't end there.
CPD said two days later, Alvisures Marroquin went to pick up his vehicle, which was registered under a fake name using false documentation.
They said when authorities couldn't give the vehicle to him because it wasn't registered under his real name, he admitted to using a false name and handed them his fake ID.
They then cited him for identity fraud.
Alvisures Marroquin is scheduled to appear in court on Sept. 14.
