TRUCK DRIVER FACES HASSLE OVER ALIAS
Lyndon Amory thought his problems with somebody else's using his name were over when the other guy went to prison in a rape and kidnapping case. He was wrong.
The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles sent Amory a letter this week saying his driver's license was being canceled. The DMV said it took the action because a license issued to Amory in Georgia had been revoked years earlier for unpaid traffic fines.
The Georgia license apparently belonged to the impostor, who is now in prison in Connecticut.
"This has been a nightmare from day one," Amory said.
Amory, a York County truck driver, said the man who took up his identity is a trucker he met in Indiana in 1985. The man told Amory he was stranded and Amory gave him a ride.
He said the two spent four days on the road "and he seemed like a nice guy, so I told him if he was ever in Grafton to come by for a visit."
To his surprise, the man - identified by Connecticut authorities as Michael Franzese - showed up the next summer and stayed a weekend. Amory believes Franzese took an old driver's license that was sitting on a dresser, and began using Amory's name as an alias.
