Found wallet leads to Texas man's arrest

[May 18, 2011]  WEATHERFORD, Texas (AP) -- The good news for an 18-year-old Texas man is he has his wallet back. The bad is that it has landed him under arrest, facing fraud and drug charges.

Someone found Clayton Neil Stewart's wallet and turned it in to authorities. Parker County Sheriff Larry Fowler says deputies found three other men's identification cards inside and drugs in the teen's car.

Stewart told deputies that he found the driver's licenses belonging to men in three states.

The Aledo man has been charged with fraudulent use or possession of identifying information, and possession of a controlled substance and marijuana.

Stewart was released Monday after posting $8,500 bail at the Parker County Jail in Weatherford, about 30 miles west of Fort Worth.

Records don't indicate if he has an attorney.
