Joe Cafasso, aka Bob Stormer, in custody on FTA charge

From CN comes this Chesterton Tribune article:

A man who had been residing in Chesterton under the name of Robert Stormer and was charged with false informing in October 2008 when a DNR Conservation Officer said that he identified himself with the Social Security number of a Rhode Island girl is being held at the Porter County Jail on a charge of failure to appear.


That's identity fraud, isn't it, Joe?

Joseph Cafasso, 52, was taken into custody on Jan. 22 on a warrant charging him with failure to appear, court documents show. According to the Inmate Information System at the Porter County Jail, he is being held on a $500 cash-only bond, with no release date presently scheduled.


But the Inmate Information System at the Porter County Jail doesn't tell the whole story:

At 6:45 p.m. on Oct. 2, Conservation Officer Robert Cauffman stopped a male subject on the main road leading into Indiana Dunes State Park after clocking him at 35 miles per hour in a zone posted at 20 mph, Cauffman stated in his incident report.

The subject, who identified himself as Robert Stormer, 58, advised Cauffman that he did not have his Rhode Island-issued driver's license with him. Cauffman stated that when he ran the name Robert Stormer, it “came back not on file” in both Indiana and Rhode Island. Cauffman further stated that when he ran the Social Security number provided by Stormer, it returned to a 13-year-old Rhode Island girl.

Although the subject repeatedly insisted that his name is Robert Stormer and that there must be a problem with the computers, he eventually admitted to being Joseph Cafasso, 52, Cauffman stated. A second computer check listed his driver’s license in Rhode Island as suspended.

“During this conversation he stated he was hiding from members of the CIA and FBI along with several other stories,” Cauffman stated.
