He wasn’t Eric Nicholson or Vernon Eugene Lyons. He’s really George Helms, a man sitting in jail on seven counts of forgery for allegedly stealing identities.
Authorities say he posed under the names of 10 different people in Indiana and used those names to get identification cards through the Bureau of Motor Vehicles.
He allegedly walked into a Hobart License Branch for his 11th try on August 14th.
State officials say the suspect presented all the right documents to try to prove he was who he said he was. He applied for his new ID. He even took the photo.
But his photo had gone through the BMV’s new computer program that recognizes and matches facial features.
