During a routine traffic stop and drug interdiction with the new K9 officer NiKi on Tuesday night, Boyle County deputy sheriffs discovered a man who allegedly had been evading federal authorities since 1987.

Using the alias Antonio Trevino, Juan Martinez Rodriguez, 54, was arrested by the deputies while driving with a suspended license on the U.S. 150/127 corridor.

“Deputies felt there was something wrong,” Sheriff Marty Elliott said of Trevino, who submitted a Texas driver’s license but gave an Irvine, Ky., address.

When officers arrived at the Boyle County Detention Center to fingerprint Trevino, they learned his true identity is Juan Martinez Rodriguez. It is believed Martinez is involved in more than 50 identity theft cases and is in the United States illegally.

Martinez remains in custody awaiting the arrival of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.
