Police in Central Texas hope the arrest of a man accused of selling a fake Texas temporary license plate could lead to more information about who is behind a series of Facebook ads advertising bogus tags for sale.
Instead, authorities said, they are old numbers issued by other dealers that have already been shut down by the Texas DMV for selling fraudulent tags.
Constables surrounded the suspect’s truck shouting, “Hands out the window,” and approached the truck with guns drawn. It’s considered a high-risk felony traffic stop because selling a fictitious temporary tag is a state jail felony. “I didn't make the tags, obviously, the tags are fictitious. It's unfortunate what's taking place. It’s a mess of things that have taken place,” Lopez toldJose Sanchez, NBC 5 InvestigatesNBC 5 Investigates
Lopez and her attorney hope the recent arrest in Austin could help lead police to any possible network of people behind the ads.
