Girl tells cops her fake ID is OK if she's acting
FORT WALTON BEACH — An 18-year-old girl informed a police officer her fake driver license was not illegal because it could be legally pos-sessed if she were acting, according to her arrest report.
The girl, Abbie Caay Huff of Pensacola, was stopped for speeding by a Fort Walton Beach police officer on Oct. 24. During the stop, officers noted open containers of alcohol in the vehicle and all passengers appeared to be under the age of 21.
Officers searched the vehicle and found a Mississippi driver license for Huff that listed her as being over the age of 21. It turned out the license was false, the arrest report indicated. Huff’s Florida license indicated she was 18.
Huff had an Escambia County warrant out on her for battery.
While in custody Huff said, “the license wasn’t illegal because it was not used and it can be legally possessed if she were acting,” the officer wrote in the report.
She is charged with possession a fake ID and has a Dec. 8 court date.
