IDENTITY THEFT

• A 31-year-old Chehalis man was arrested yesterday for identity theft for reportedly using the name, birthdate and number from a social security card he found in Los Angeles some seven years ago. An investigation began earlier this week when a deputy was called by a police department in Manassas Park, Virginia about a 26-year-old resident there who said he’d learned someone who worked at Aluminite in Chehalis was using his social security number, according to the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office. A check with the business in the Chehalis Industrial Park confirmed they had a worker employed under that identity, according to Chief Civil Deputy Stacy Brown. Jose Victor Azcunaga-Molina, 31, was booked into the Lewis County Jail, according to Brown.
