INDIANAPOLIS (AP) _ An Indianapolis man says another man stole his identity and used it with police while committing misdemeanor crimes.
Wesley Taylor says his record was tarnished by the case of identity theft he says began when his wallet was stolen in 2006. He says the criminal record wrongly associated with him has prevented him from getting jobs, and led to suspension of his driver's license.
The Indianapolis Star (http://indy.st/1XMQtcD ) reports Taylor is suing the city of Indianapolis, claiming officials didn't do enough to correct his record. His complaint says that the criminal record has stayed with him for years despite his pleas with police and court staff.
The newspaper says representatives with the city's legal department declined to comment on Taylor's case.
The man Taylor says stole his identity is in prison on a murder conviction.
