A Utah woman was arrested Saturday after police say she
impersonated her 21-year-old daughter during a routine traffic
stop.
Heather Garcia, 38, was booked into the Davis County Jail early
Saturday morning on several charges including providing false
personal information to a peace officer after she was caught
allegedly lying to authorities about her identity to avoid
getting arrested for outstanding warrants.
Garcia was driving a silver BMW when she was pulled over on Main
Street in Farmington after a Davis County police officer noticed
her vehicle did not have a license plate, KABB reported.
During a search of her car, police recovered drug paraphernalia
and a white powdery substance.
Garcia reportedly identified herself as Mercedes, adding she was
born in 1998.
Police soon discovered Garcia provided her daughter’s name and
eventually made a positive ID.
Garcia was charged with several drug charges including
possession or use of a controlled substance, marijuana
possession and possession of drug paraphernalia, according to
inmate records.
She was also charged with driving without insurance and driving
with a suspended or revoked license or registration.
