Ricardo DutrieculleBradley County authorities arrested a Pennsylvania couple passing through the area for having 64 types of identification hidden in the vehicle.
The driver, 54-year-old Ricardo Dutrieculle was arrested on 60 counts of identity theft, speeding and having an expired registration, said Bradley County Sheriff's spokesman Bob Gault. Dutrieculle also has an active warrant for probation violation in Georgia.
His passenger, 44-year-old Melissa Hicks, was also charged with 60 counts of identify theft, Gault said.
A detective stopped the couple on Friday when a radar showed they were driving above the speed limit on Interstate 75, Gault said. The detective asked to search the vehicle and found 40 drivers licenses, 24 social security cards, 45 prepaid VISA cards and numerous W-2's from the Internal Revenue Services.
Four of the licenses and social security cards were duplicates, said Gault, which explains why the couple was charged with 60 counts.
