PANAMA CITY — A Canadian ex-con has been sentenced to about a year in jail for disguising his identity after a marijuana possession arrest.
Brandon Robert Humphreys, 31, pleaded no contest to two of five counts of forgery Thursday and was sentenced to about a year in Bay County Jail.
Humphreys, a transient from Canada, was arrested by Lynn Haven police in June for possession of less than 20 grams of marijuana, a misdemeanor offense. During the arrest and subsequent court proceedings, Humphreys forged his signature and told authorities he was a man named Simon James Parker on at least five documents. Humphreys was convicted of violent felony charges in Canada. His true identity was verified by the FBI and Canadian authorities.
