Be sure your sins will find you out.

I just love it when criminals try to outsmart the law and get caught in their own webs.

Flavio Nejero told the police he was Blas Nejero, his brother, when he was arrested for DWI in 2004. In 2006, Blas was charged with murder, but the police couldn't find him, and his whereabouts are still unknown.

This year, Flavio was detained in California after a routine traffic stop. His fingerprints showed that he was Blas, the name he had given when his prints were taken in 2004. So he was extradited to face the murder charge. In the meantime, authorities discovered he was an illegal alien, so an immigration hold was issued.

When he was questioned in Dallas, Dallas officers quickly figured out that there was a problem with identity. He's OK now on the murder charge, but he's probably going back to Mexico where he belongs after he takes care of the DWI charge.
