An Albuquerque man learned his identity was stolen when a lawyer called to notify him about a felony charge he didn’t commit.

The Public Defenders Office called the man to talk about a criminal case against him and that he might want to accept a plea deal.
However the guy was totally innocent.
The Albuquerque Police Department arrested Alan Uffer, 52, for posing as the other man during an arrest in March.
At the time, Uffer, under the other man’s name, was charged with commercial burglary, possession of burglary tools and aggravated assault.
Uffer went before a judge on Sunday.
He was charged with identity theft and the charges from the original arrest.
