ARLINGTON — An Arlington man was jailed early Wednesday for investigation of 84 crimes, mostly second-degree identity theft, possession of stolen property and money laundering.
The man, 28, allegedly used other people’s identities to fuel an OxyContin habit, according to a police affidavit filed Thursday in Everett District court.
He is unemployed and, despite being under investigation by police, continued to commit crimes without regard for the law, police said in court papers.
The man allegedly opened a bank account in someone else’s name and then made fraudulent withdrawals from the account, which may constitute money laundering.
On Thursday, a judge ordered the man held in lieu of $200,000 bail.
