Your Wednesday Morning Florida Report

COCONUT CREEK, Fla. – A South Florida cook says he lived a nightmare recently when police mistook him for a fugitive with the same name, similar looks and almost the same birthday. 

Leonardo Silva Oliveira, 26, was wanted for probation violation on charges out of Boca Raton. But on Jan. 20, authorities arrested another man named Leonardo Silva Oliveira, 26, outside the Broward County restaurant where he is a cook, the South Florida SunSentinel reported.

When I was living in California, there was a city councilman that had my name, was born in the same hospital and in the same year as me.
I almost got arrested for impersonating him when I filed a complaint against the State Franchise Tax Board through my congressman. The aide was expecting the councilman when I walked into her office and called the cops on me after I left.
It was actually pretty funny, especially when I asked the cop, "Who in the fuck would want to impersonate a politician?"
