A Burley man was arraigned in 5th District Court in Twin Falls Friday for allegedly stealing the identity of a former customer.

Tyler Rocke Clark, 24, was charged with misappropriation of personal identifying information, receiving and possession of fraudulently obtained goods and services, and grand theft by deception. He faces a July 23 preliminary hearing.

According to police records, Clark assumed the identity of Logan Gietzen, a man he sold a car to in late 2008 while he was an employee of a Twin Falls car dealership. Clark is alleged to have obtained a cell phone in Gietzen’s name and attempted to sell a motorcycle through the website Craigslist.org to another man, Richard Wilson, for $3,000 in January 2009.

Wilson deposited money into an account Clark set up in Gietzen’s name, but he never received the motorcycle. After reaching the real Gietzen and realizing that he wasn’t the man he was looking for, Wilson reported the theft to the Twin Falls Police Department.

In February 2009, Gietzen identified Clark from video surveillance tapes from banks in Twin Falls and Gooding, according to the report.

Bank tellers also identified Clark from times he tried to withdraw money from the bank.
