An innocent man told investigators he got arrested, lost his Uber job, and was almost on the hook for child support payments because of identity theft, which authorities say was done by his former neighbor.

Yaw Mintah Afari, 46, was arrested Wednesday and is currently locked up at Ohio’s Butler County Jail in a federal case for false statements, passport fraud, and aggravated identity theft.

“At some point thereafter [a July 2001 assault charge in Fairfax, Virginia], AFARI stole the identity of his acquaintance, whose initials are A.D. Virginia driver’s license records show that the two men lived on the same street,” authorities wrote in their affidavit in support of the criminal complaint. “In addition, when A.D. was interviewed recently, he told investigators that he had met AFARI through a mutual acquaintance.”

But while A.D. stayed in Virginia since then, Afari moved out of state and got into a fair bit of trouble under A.D.’s name, according to documents.
