A man accused of stealing and using a woman's identity for 13 years has been arrested — but not before racking up thousands of dollars in medical bills and creating a living nightmare for his victim, say authorities.
Perla Serrano was found by a deputy in San Clemente, Calif., sleeping in a public area in violation of a city ordinance. The deputy believed the 51-year-old homeless man was a woman, but grew suspicious when he saw a hospital wristband with a different name.
"The deputy called San Clemente Hospital and was informed by San Clemente personnel that the person was actually a man, not a woman," said Orange County Sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino.
