Bowling Green woman charged with identity theft

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – A Bowling Green woman is accused of providing a false identity.

According to a uniform citation, the Warren County Sheriff’s Office responded to the 2100 block of Hadley Loop Road around 4 a.m. Wednesday in reference to an attempt to serve two misdemeanor warrants on an individual.

Officers say upon arrival they received no response when they knocked on the door and saw a gray Chevy pickup parked nearby.

Officers say they have been notified that the man wanted in connection with the crime is driving the truck.

While checking the truck, the sheriff’s office said a sergeant in the back seat saw two feet sticking out of clothing with a cloth basket over the suspect’s head.

Deputies say they gave commands to the subject to show their hands, which was refused and the subject was held at gunpoint.

Officers say they then shook the truck and shouted commands at the subject for about 30 minutes without response.

After using OC spray several times, officers say the subject appeared and complied, exiting the truck.

The suspect then gave a false identity, according to officers.

She was later identified as Trina Blank, 45, of Bowling Green, who had two active warrants for her arrest.

Blank was arrested and transported to the Warren County Detention Center.

She is charged with theft of another’s identity without consent and resisting arrest.
