According to New Hampshire State Police, investigators were alerted by the staff at the NH DMV office in Concord at just before 1 p.m. that a man might be trying to obtain a false license.

Troop G troopers went to the DMV and investigated the claim. They later found out that the man was actually Lozano, a man currently living in Massachusetts, was possibly an illegal alien, and had an outstanding drug dealing charge against him.

“Troopers were able to confirm that the documents that Lozano had provided were fraudulent,” according to Sgt. Andrew Player of the NHSP. “With the cooperation of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, officers were ultimately able to determine Lozano’s true identify. Furthermore, it was discovered that Lozano had an outstanding warrant in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for sales of cocaine.”

Lozano was arrested and refused bail. He was held at the Merrimack County House of Corrections and was arraigned this morning.

The New Hampshire State Police – Troop G was assisted by members of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the New Hampshire Division of Motor Vehicles. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact Trooper O’Leary at 603-223-8778.
