GRAHAM, N.C. -- The Alamance County Sheriff’s Office says it has an identity theft suspect in custody Wednesday morning.

Mario Sosa-Cruz is charged with one count of identity theft for allegedly purchasing the name and Social Security number of a Burlington man without the man's knowledge.

Officers say he used the fake name to get a job with Holt Sublimation and to get a diver's license, which was later revoked for driving while impaired.

Sosa-Cruz admitted to entering the country illegally. Deputies say he has already been deported from the U.S. once before.
