A man has been charged with six felonies after authorities claim he trafficked stolen identities.
Christian Blackmore, 31, of Sunrise Beach, has been charged with trafficking stolen identities, first-degree tampering with a vehicle, two counts of drug possession, one count of tampering with evidence, driving revoked and an infraction of displaying plates on the wrong vehicle.
An extradition order was filed on Tuesday, April 22 to bring Blackmore back to Arkansas.
The probable cause statement says that police saw Blackmore arriving to the Versailles Walmart in a vehicle on Sunday, April 20. He allegedly let a woman out of the vehicle to go into the store and then he went to a separate entrance of the building before going back to the main entrance, the statement says.
Blackmore was later seen running back to the van and picking up the woman at a different location, the statement says. The license plates on the van belonged to a different vehicle when they were looked up by law enforcement, the statement says. The statement later says the Dodge Caravan was reported stolen.
Police pulled the vehicle over during a traffic stop and found numerous personal documents belonging to various people, including birth certificates, Social Security cards, driver’s licenses and state IDs, court documents say.
Court documents claim Blackmore’s license was suspended in Arkansas and that he has ties to a white supremacist group in Arkansas. The probable cause statement says he is affiliated with the “New Aryan Empire,” which has been associated with domestic terrorism.
