The suspect was arrested for multiple fraud, forgery failure to ID and tampering charges.
On Sept. 14 at 3:13 a.m., officers were conducting a search of a vehicle that was stopped for a traffic violation on Justin Road when an unrelated subject approached the scene with a flashlight and hindered the investigation by talking to the vehicle occupants and making strange gestures with his hands.
