A man who was arrested in identity fraud charged in mid January was charged with multiple counts Wednesday stemming from items found it his car during an I-20 traffic stop.

Curtis Boddie was accused of five counts of forgery and six counts identity theft after a deputy found driver’s licenses with his photo and the information of others and several credit cards in the names of others, according to Inv. John Sweat of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office.

Sweat told Douglas County Magistrate Court Judge Susan Camp that just after he stop, they learned that Boddie had a warrant for identity theft in LaGrange.

“What you have here is a man who doesn’t have any income and he makes a living riding around the country, using other people’s information to open accounts and support himself,” Sweat said.

Boddie, who said he lives in South Carolina, struggled in asking what he did and that he didn’t shop for anything in Douglas County. Camp explained the law that having he cards was a violation, that hey didn’t have to be used to be a violation of the law.

“I’m getting ready to die your honor, “ Boddie said “I’ve got a lung disease and I’m fixing to go in and get ready for a transplant. So it doesn’t matter if I get a bond. I’m not going anywhere.”

Camp then denied bond.

In other cases:

Ronald Jackson was charged with burglary and Margaret Martin was charged with burglary and theft by deception. The two were arrested as they entered a pawn shop where Martin sold a PlayStation 3 that had been taken from a home earlier the same day. Martin claimed that her brother asked her to sell the game system and that a friend had given it to her and Jackson said he did nothing but go into the pawn shop. “My brother is asked me to sell it because he didn’t have an ID,” Martin said. “I swear I didn’t know it was stolen. I didn’t have anything to do with a burglary. I swear.” Bond was set at $8,000 for Jackson and $10,000 for Martin.
