Counterfeit credit cards found during traffic stop
CLOVERDALE -- An Indianapolis man was arrested Tuesday after a traffic stop revealed he was in possession of several counterfeit credit/gift cards.
At 11:53 a.m., Indiana State Police Trooper Yan Dravigne was patrolling Interstate 70 westbound near the 39-mile marker, when he stopped a 2007 Chevrolet Impala for a license plate violation.
During the stop, the male driver produced another person's driver's license as his, was very nervous and was untruthful in his conversations. The driver did not have a valid driver's license under his name.
Investigation revealed him to be 20-year-old Halton Kai.
Dravigne received consent to search the vehicle and inside the passenger compartment of the vehicle were several counterfeit credit/gift cards.
Kai was taken into custody and transported to the Putnam County Jail, booked in on preliminary charges of Class C felony forgery, D felony counterfeiting, A misdemeanor driving with a suspended license and A misdemeanor false informing.
