Tampa, FL - A Canadian woman was arrested after Hillsborough County deputies say they found 12 fraudulent ID cards with her photo but different names and dates of birth during a traffic stop.
According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, deputies stopped Bryce Swanson, 28, on Wednesday near West Hillsborough Avenue in Tampa.
HCSO said Swanson initially told deputies her name was Brianna Valenzuela during the traffic stop.
Deputies said Swanson later admitted she did not have an ID and had never possessed a valid driver's license.
A search of Swanson's vehicle led deputies to discover 12 driver's licenses, all featuring Swanson's picture but with different names and dates of birth, according to the sheriff's office.
The sheriff's office said Swanson is from Canada and had overstayed her visa.
Investigators said Swanson faces a charge of fraudulent use of personal information involving more than $5,000 or 10 but fewer than 20 victims.
Swanson was also booked on charges of:
* No valid driver's license
* Giving a false name to a law enforcement officer
According to jail records, Swanson was booked into the Orient Road Jail and is being held without bond due to an ICE hold.
