A man from Calloway was arrested on multiple charges, including identity theft, after he allegedly gave Kentucky State Police troopers someone else’s name and an incorrect birth date.

John Rutherford, 49, was arrested by KSP troopers Matthew Barger, Aaron Caldwell, Kevin Howard and Sgt. Jared Boggs on Aug. 10.

According to Barger’s citation, on Friday at approximately 10:40 p.m., he assisted Boggs in a traffic stop on US 119 in Tremont. Barger said he made contact with the passenger while Boggs was talking to Rutherford.

Later during the traffic stop, Barger asked for Rutherford’s driver’s license and proof of insurance, to which Rutherford allegedly told Barger he did not have a valid license but he knew his Social Security number. Rutherford then took out the card and handed it to Barger and told him that his name was Jeffrey Bullins. Rutherford said he did not know his birth date.

Barger said he returned to his vehicle to run the number Rutherford gave him, but the picture did not match Rutherford’s identity. He then asked Rutherford for his birth date again. When Rutherford said he did not know the month or day, only that he was born in the 1970s. Bullins’ birth date, however, is in 1989, according to the citation.

Rutherford allegedly told Barger the truth after he had asked for his name a third time, confirming there were two active warrants for his arrest. Rutherford also advised that a female had exited the car and ran up the hill. Boggs told Barger both subjects were acting nervous when he approached the car and could not give the same story of where they were coming from.

After placing Rutherford under arrest, Barger was able to locate a jewelry box in the backseat floorboard, containing papers from another person named Jeffrey Haywood, according to the citation. Boggs and another trooper were able to locate the female at the residence belonging to Haywood.

The other passenger allegedly gave an open-recording statement of what happened and the plan the female and Rutherford had the whole time.

Caldwell had also advised Rutherford was under the influence at the time of the stop and imposed additional charges.

Rutherford was charged with reckless driving, obstructed vision/windshield, failure to wear seat belts, no registration receipt, failure to produce insurance card, operating on suspended/revoked operator’s license, failure to register/transfer motor vehicle, improper signal, operation of motor vehicle while under the influence of drugs/alcohol, second-degree burglary, giving an officer false identifying information, identity theft and two counts failure to appear.

Rutherford was lodged in the Harlan County Detention Center on four full-cash bonds totaling $4,500.
