A man charged after a single-vehicle crash near Plainfield earlier this year gave police someone else's identification -- which authorities discovered when the ID theft victim responded to a court summons and proved he wasn't the man who had been arrested.
So a man now identified as Bobby D. Williams, 22, of the 1300 block of Crabapple Court in Naperville has been named in an arrest warrant alleging forgery and is being sought by the Kendall County sheriff's office, authorities said today.
Williams was first arrested and charged with various traffic charges on Feb. 7 after being involved in a single-vehicle crash on the 1900 block of Wheeler Road in unincorporated Kendall County near Plainfield, police said.
At the time he provided a false name and identification, and signed out of jail. But when the man summoned to court showed authorities he wasn't the man who had been arrested, the forgery charges were added and a new arrest warrant issued.
Williams also faces charges of driving under the influence, driving with a suspended license and various other traffic offenses. The arrest warrant sets his bail at $10,000, police said.
In the release asking for the public's help in locating the suspect, police said Williams is known to frequent the Naperville, Joliet and Bolingbrook areas. Anyone with information is asked to call the local police department.
