ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- Alaska state prosecutors have filed a criminal charge against a former Anchorage police officer accused of living in the country illegally under a stolen identity.

Prosecutors say Rafael Mora-Lopez knowingly submitted false applications to collect thousands of dollars in dividends from the state's oil-rich savings account.

Mora-Lopez is charged with unsworn falsification. State prosecutors say he has agreed to plead guilty to the charge and pay restitution for more than $27,000 in dividends from the Alaska Permanent Fund.

Mora-Lopez lived in Alaska more than two decades as Rafael Alberto Espinoza, a U.S. citizen now living in Mexico.

Mora-Lopez pleaded guilty earlier this month to federal counts of passport fraud and false claim of U.S. citizenship.

His attorney, Allen Dayan, did not immediately respond to a phone call seeking comment Tuesday.

He was hired in 2005. Was she governor then?
"Mora-Lopez had been employed as an Anchorage police officer since 2005 under the name Rafael Espinoza."

Palin held it from December 2006 until resigning in July 2009.

She was pro-amnesty.
