An Anchorage police officer who took on a false identity that masked his Mexican citizenship has been arrested and charged with passport fraud, federal officials said today.

At a news conference Friday, U.S. Attorney Karen Loeffler said that patrolman Rafael Espinoza, on the Anchorage police force for about six years, was really Rafael Mora-Lopez, a Mexican national working in the United States illegally.

Well that shows how good the Anchorage Police screen their potential employees. That's unreal. I wonder if he even had a college degree. I don't think you can be a police officer without one of those anymore.
