Article Image Alt Text

A man trying to flee the state was arrested by Sanford Airport Police on Wednesday after they said he tried to use a fake driver’s license to fly to Texas.
Police said the man went a checkpoint at the Sanford International Airport attempting to board a one-way Allegiant flight to McAllen, Texas. The man presented a fake driver’s license from the U.S. Virgin Islands with the name Marlon Bryant.
The license tipped of a checkpoint supervisor, who then called over a police officer to verify it. When police looked the license over they determined it had incorrect hologram identifiers.
The man attempted to flee, but police were able to catch him after about a 200-yard chase. Once handcuffed, police attempted to pull his fingerprints and the man tried to flee again.
Refusing to give him his real name, police eventually identified him as Christopher Campbell, 30, and realized he had several outstanding warrants.
His warrants out of Orange County were for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of a firearm with an altered serial number, resisting law enforcement without violence, shooting into an occupied vehicle, and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Campbell was charged with fraud – giving a false identification to police, attempted escape, resisting an officer without violence.
