Man arrested for possessing multiple stolen IDs

A 22-year-old Big Pine Key man was arrested Thursday after he was found to be in possession of stolen drivers licenses from five different states and five different social security cards.

Chandler Michael Dolowy was charged with eight counts of possession of a stolen divers license or identification card, fraud or impersonation by possessing personal identification information, possession of more than 20 grams of marijuana and possession of marijuana paraphernalia.

Deputies Juan Carlos Marino and Aaron Roddy were on routine patrol on Big Pine Key at 9:20 a.m. when he saw an Audi parked behind the Winn-Dixie near the loading dock. It is not typical for private vehicles to be parked there. The driver was identified as Dolowy. He was the sole occupant. Dolowy stated he worked at Winn-Dixie, but was trying to hide from his manager so he could take a longer break. The Deputies noted a strong smell of marijuana and shake marijuana all over the front passenger seat and floor board. Dolowy stated he had a marijuana cigarette in the center console and a “grinder” with some marijuana inside as well.

A search of the car turned up a small box with multiple drivers licenses, IDs and social security cards inside, none of which belonged to Dolowy. About 27 grams total of marijuana was also found in the car.

Dolowy admitted to stealing all but one of the IDs from the Norfolk, Virginia area and the one ID from the Elkhart, Indiana area. Dolowy said he was homeless at the time and steal whatever he could from unlocked vehicles.

  • The drivers licenses included one from Texas, one from New York, one from California, four from Virginia and one from Illinois.
  • Five social security cards were found
  • One Utah concealed carry firearm permit
  • One U.S. military identification card

All the cards were placed into property for further investigation.

Dolowy was taken to jail.
