A customer at a used car
dealership in Middle Village
was arrested last week for
allegedly stealing another man’s
identity in an attempt to obtain a
large car loan.
Steven Picard, 37, was placed
under arrest on April 12 after
attempting to finance a car using
another man’s identification card
and is now facing grand larceny and
identity theft charges.
With up to five counts against him,
prosecutors said, Picard is said to
have set off a fraud alert with Wells
Fargo after filling out paperwork
at Roadmasters 2, located at 61-02
Fresh Pond Rd. on April 4, according
to the criminal complaint that the
Queens District Attorney’s office
provided.
Prosecutors said he allegedly
handed over an ID with a Long Island
man’s name, but after the fraud alert
when off Picard made a phone call
which would lift the alert to the
name on his ID within 24 hours.
Picard allegedly returned the
next day to complete additional
paperwork for the $38,000 car
loan, which the bank allowed, the
criminal complaint indicated.
But Picard allegedly hit
real trouble on April 10 at the
Department of Motor Vehicles,
when he attempted to register the
2012 BMW 6-Series and was told the
identification used to purchase the
car was invalid.
The criminal complaint noted
while the information in the ID all
pertained to the victim, the photo on
the car had Picard’s name on it. But
the Long Island man himself, when
contacted by authorities, indicated
that while all this information
was his, he had not financed a car
recently.
Picard returned to the dealership
on April 12, at which time the owner
of Roadmasters 2 told the Detective
Filip Glowa that the defendant was
present with the BMW financed just
days before.
Police determined the ID used on
the application was a forgery and
allegedly found a Colorado driver’s
license in Picard’s pocket with
another man’s name.
Picard went before a judge in
Queens Criminal Court on April 14
and is being held on $25,000 bond.
