On March 11, 2021 at 10:26 p.m., a Norfolk Police Officer performed a traffic stop on a vehicle that only had one headlight.  The officer had contact with the driver. He said that he did not have any identification and verbally told the officer a name.  During further questioning, he produced an “international driver’s license” with a different name on it.  This document was proven to be fake.  During this contact the officer could smell alcohol coming from him. He was requested to preform field sobriety maneuvers and the results indicated impairment.  He was then taken into custody. Once at the city jail, a Nebraska State Patrol Trooper was contacted to help identify the subject.  The trooper was able to run the males fingerprints through a portable, automated fingerprint identification system (AFIS.)  The male was identified as Anibal E. Maradiaga-Alvarez, 26, homeless.  He was arrested for driving under the influence, fourth offense, driving during revocation, criminal impersonation and two active Lancaster County arrest warrants.
