But when a federal Transportation Security Administration screener looked through the bag March 29 at Lanai Airport, she found a Hawaii driver's license with a different name.

As she continued to examine the traveler's belongings, she turned up 43 Hawaii driver's licenses, each with photos of the same man but with 35 different names, addresses and Social Security numbers, said Deputy Prosecutor John Tam, as reported by The Maui News.

When Lanai police caught up with the suspect the next morning as he attempted to flee through a bedroom window of a Lanai City residence, they learned his real name is Shane James Deighan, a 33-year-old Honolulu resident with a prior forgery conviction.

Also found in his baggage were 19 credit cards, 11 of them matching one of the Hawaii driver's licenses, with four of the credit cards signed on the back; three other apparently stolen Hawaii driver's licenses with other people's names and photos; two apparently stolen Texas driver's licenses with other people's names and photos; three Social Security cards, two blank checks, one military identification and a Canadian birth certificate.

Police also seized a laptop computer, laminate material, Exacto knives and paper that could have been used to forge some of the identifications.

"He had everything but the printer," Tam said.

Police are continuing an investigation but verified that Deighan had the personal information of at least one real person – a Maui police lieutenant whose name, address, Social Security number and birth date were written in a notebook.

"I was surprised," said the lieutenant, who doesn't know Deighan and had "no idea" how he obtained the personal information.

The lieutenant said he was among Army Reserve members alerted last year about the possibility they could be subject to identity theft from missing U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs records.

He recalled receiving a bill last year from Dell for a computer he hadn't purchased. But after he questioned the charge, the company determined it was a case of fraud, he said.

During a preliminary hearing on April 4 in Wailuku District Court, Judge Jan Apo ruled there was enough evidence to support charges of unauthorized possession of confidential personal information, second-degree forgery, criminal possession of a forgery device, sale or manufacture of deceptive identification document and credit card forgery. Each charge is a Class C felony carrying a penalty of up to five years in prison.

With a stack of fake identification as thick as three decks of playing cards, Deighan could have disappeared, Tam said.

Apo increased bail for Deighan from $15,000 to $50,000.

Deighan, who is also known as Ethan Francoise James, is scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday in 2nd Circuit Court. He was being held at the Maui Community Correctional Center.

When he showed up at Lanai Airport at 3:55 p.m. March 29, Deighan had five pieces of luggage and an Island Air ticket to Oahu in the name of Robert Folsom. He also had a Hawaii driver's license with the name Robert Folsom and might have been allowed to board the airplane if not for the TSA screener, Tam said.

"She was the sharp one who caught it, noticed the difference in names," he said.

A TSA supervisor said the screener has been on Lanai for several years, dealing with sometimes difficult situations, but one "known to perform very well under all circumstances."

The supervisor said the Lanai situation was unique, but screeners are trained to be observant of what may be suspicious situations. He asked that the screener not be identified.

While the suspect fled from the airport, Lanai police tracked him to a residence on Lanai Avenue, where he was arrested about 7 a.m. the next day.

Lanai patrol officer Brandon Rodrigues, who went to the back of the home, recognized Deighan as he burst through a window screen to flee, according to police reports. The officer used a Taser stun gun to subdue the 6-foot, 175-pound suspect.

According to court records, Deighan was placed on five years' probation after pleading guilty to second-degree forgery in a 2001 case on Oahu.
