N.D. Man Accused Of Giving Boyhood Friend's License To Cops
MINOT, N.D. (AP) — A 22-year-old Minot man is accused of using a fake name and childhood friend's driver's license during traffic stops.
The Minot Daily News reports that the friend contacted the Highway Patrol after he received 10 tickets on his Louisiana driving record from North Dakota. The man told officers that he has never been to North Dakota.
Canthony Joseph Cooper Jr. is charged with making false reports to law enforcement. He made an initial appearance in court on Friday.
Cooper is also charged with three counts of forgery or counterfeiting and one count of facilitation of counterfeiting and is being held on $7,500 bond at the Ward County Jail on the counterfeiting charges.
He told Judge Todd Cresap on Friday that he cannot pay the bond in those cases.
