A Cedar Rapids man was arrested after allegedly trying to re-title a vehicle illegally.
55-year-old Lenny Walker of 36th Street NE was at the Johnson County Administration Building Monday afternoon and reportedly presented a fraudulent Illinois title and a false bill of sale for a vehicle he didn’t own. The documents were presented with the intention to get an Iowa title for the vehicle.
The vehicle, a 2017 Land Rover, is currently titled in a different state, and Walker alleged that he was going to be paid $500 to obtain the title.
He was taken into custody and charged with 3rd degree Fraudulent Practice, an aggravated misdemeanor punishable by a jail sentence of up to two years if convicted.
