Tampa, Florida – A traffic stop in the Tampa area led deputies to discover 12 driver’s licenses with different names and dates of birth inside a vehicle.
Body-camera footage shows deputies approaching a silver sedan during a nighttime stop near a gas station. A woman inside the vehicle speaks with deputies before later standing outside the car as emergency lights flash from multiple sheriff’s vehicles.
Deputies identified the driver as Bryce Swanson, 28. She initially identified herself as Brianna Valenzuela and claimed to have a valid driver’s license before later stating she had never possessed one.
A search of the vehicle revealed 12 driver’s licenses displaying Swanson’s picture but different names and dates of birth.
Deputies learned Swanson is from Canada and had overstayed her visa. She was arrested and faces charges including fraudulent use of personal information involving more than $5,000 or 10 but fewer than 20 victims, no valid driver’s license, and giving a false name to law enforcement.
