A case of mistaken identity?

Now here’s a story with a complicated twist!

This past July in Orlando, Brittany Ossenfort complained that it was not she who had been jailed recently on a prostitution charge, that the arrestee claiming to be her was Richard Phillips, who had befriended Ossenfort last year (while pretending to be a woman) and had become her roommate, but who with the passage of time began dressing and acting like her until Ossenfort finally discovered “she” was a man.

This was of course after which Phillips allegedly stole Ossenfort’s financial identity.

Ossenfort admitted to being completely fooled by Phillips: “He acted like a girl, talked like a girl, looks like a girl. He doesn’t even have an Adam’s apple.”

What if your name matched a movie character?

I certainly wouldn’t want to share my name with a famous movie character. Lately I’ve heard the tale of not just the movie Harry Potter, but two real life Harry Potter’s.

Two weeks ago I heard that a Brantford, Ontario Harry Potter was besieged with calls about the new Harry Potter book and movie and now I’ve just read about a 78 year old Florida man who’s name happens to be Harry Potter. He too has been getting calls from children every time a new book in the wildly popular series comes out.

“The kids want to know if I’m Harry Potter,” he said. “I tell them I’ve been Harry Potter for darn near 80 years!”

Police wannabe

I’m sure you’ve heard stories about fake police officers? Some are down right scary and others are funny. Here’s a funny one.

In Boca Raton Florida in March a man was flagged down by an imitation off-duty sheriff. He was apparently riding in his car with his girlfriend when he decided to stop an impolite driver.

When a real cop later showed up the first deputy was revealed to not be a police officer nor even a he! Rachel Otto, 21, appeared to be a man with short hair on top and shaved at the sides. Even his/her girl friend didn’t know that Rachel Otto was a woman and she’d been living with Otto for a week!

Otto has a rap sheet that includes 9 previous arrests for impersonating a police officer.
