Man Steals Identity to Get Married
Posted on: Friday, 6 February 2004, 06:00 CST
It's no surprise that Dallas James King can't remember anything about his wedding day - he was in prison at the time.
King, an inmate at Belmont Correctional Institution, says a man assumed his identity to apply for a license and apparently marry the mother of his child.
Probate Judge Thomas A. Swift voided the marriage Thursday. He ruled that the married couple had made a false statement about the groom's identity on their sworn marriage license application. He referred the matter to the prosecutor.
King, 23, who has been in prison since 2001 on a three-year robbery sentence out of Cleveland, said Tefawn Myers sent him a marriage certificate "stating she and I had gotten married on April 22, 2002."
"I don't want to be married to this woman," King wrote to the judge in December.
King said he was concerned about any crimes committed in his name by the man who apparently used his identity. He told the judge that Myers was living in Warren in April 2002 when the marriage license was issued.
Myers could not be reached for comment Friday because there was no phone listing for her in Warren.
