Woman attempts to evade warrants by impersonating 21-year-old daughter
DAVIS COUNTY, Utah (KUTV) — A woman in Davis County was arrested on Saturday for charges of drug possession, driving with a revoked license, and offering false personal info to a police officer, court documents said.
Heather Garcia, age 38, was pulled over on Main Street in Farmington after an officer noticed her Silver BMW did not have a license. Davis County Police performed a vehicle search and found drug paraphernalia and a white powdery substance.
Officers tried to gather information from Garcia during the arrest. She told officers her name was Mercedes and was born in 1998. Officers soon realized through a records check that the identity Garcia had offered was actually her daughters.
Once police were able to make a positive ID on Heather Garcia, they discovered she had outstanding warrants. Court documents show she is currently in Davis County Jail under her active warrants and new charges.
