Meth suspect is arrested; credit cards, other ID found
Two people in possession of 30 drivers' licenses, 12 Social Security cards, 30 credit cards and counterfeit checks were arrested Thursday afternoon in a hotel parking lot.
Trinity Hansen had been featured on television as a fugitive and was wanted by police for running methamphetamine labs, said Jodi Monaco, spokeswoman for the Utah State Tax Commission.
The commission's Motor Vehicle Enforcement Division agents had been doing a routine patrol Thursday. While running the license plate on a red pickup, they found it didn't match the vehicle. When the man and a 17-year-old girl walked up, agents asked if the truck was theirs. They said no and that a nearby red sport-utility vehicle was theirs. Agents checked that vehicle's license plate and found it had been reported stolen, Monaco said.
Hansen was arrested, and the girl's parents were notified, as were the correct owners of the two vehicles.
