A woman from Lebanon, Virginia was apprehended and faced several charges after using a fake identity during a traffic stop in Unicoi County, Tennessee.

The Unicoi County Sheriff’s Office reported that on July 4, 32-year-old Ashley Leanne Creech was taken into custody for allegedly using someone else’s ID and having fentanyl in her possession.

Authorities transported her to jail where her booking and fingerprinting were initially done under the false ID she provided. The police stated that Creech bore a resemblance to the actual owner of the ID.

When Creech later went to court, she entered a plea agreement with the district attorney’s office and pleaded guilty in court, still using the false identification, according to the sheriff’s office.

Through another fingerprint submission, the Unicoi Sheriff’s Office then learned Creech’s true identity. Creech reportedly had “numerous” outstanding arrest warrants and was a fugitive from justice, the release said.

Deputies located the victim of the stolen identity, who said she had no connection to Creech. The woman had reported her identity and personal items stolen several months earlier in Washington County, Virginia.

Creech was charged with her original charges, which were not listed in the release, along with the following:

• Two counts of identity theft
• Possession of drug paraphernalia
• Possession of a Schedule I and III narcotic

The Unicoi Sheriff’s Office is working with officials in Virginia to continue the investigation.
