Records check leads to Norfolk arrest

NORFOLK, Neb. -- Officers arrested an 18-year-old after a records check on Saturday in northeast Nebraska.
Authorities said that on January 29 at 3:56 p.m., an officer conducted a records check on the registered driver of a vehicle that he saw driving near Benjamin and Queen City Boulevard.
Officials said the records check showed that the registered owner’s license was currently revoked. The registered owner was an 18-year-old boy of Norfolk.
Authorities said the officer has had several contacts with the boy in the past and recognized him as the driver. The officer conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle and had contact with the boy.
The driver provided a false name and date of birth to the officer.
The office confirmed through driver's license photos that this was a false name and that the boy was, in fact, the driver.
The boy was arrested for criminal impersonation and driving during revocation.
He was held in the Norfolk City Jail and later transferred to the Madison County Jail.
