Man Accused Of Using Fake ID Hid In Trash Can, Police Say

WILMINGTON, DE — Delaware State Police said Davontae Williams, 23, tried to rent a car from Enterprise Car Rental in Wilmington on Wednesday. But this wasn't an ordinary car rental — he was trying to use a fake ID.

Police say employees realized Williams matched the description of someone suspected of attempting to use a fake ID earlier that day at another Enterprise location. Police say Williams fled when a trooper told him to stop, then was found in a trash can after a foot chase.

Williams, of Glenolden, Pennsylvania, was charged with theft by false pretense of over $1,500, resisting arrest and other charges. He was held in lieu of $6,000 cash bond.

Jail officials said Friday they didn't know if Williams has an attorney.
