52-year-old Derrick Holman and 48-year-old Michele Cox were arrested on drug possession and weapons charges in June of 2003 in Indiana.
The two got Tennessee drivers licenses under the names of Eric Brewer and Mechele Green, using personal information from those two people.
Their presence in Florida became known when the real Eric Brewer notified his local law enforcement agency that a credit report showed his name was linked to property in Polk County which he had never owned.
"The two fugitives from justice assumed new identities here in Florida to avoid capture. In the end, they wound up with a lot of felonies, and a paid one-way ticket back to Indiana." Sheriff Judd said.
The other two arrested were Holman's brother Mar Holman and 32-year-old Nathan Olsen.
