One very surprised limo rider was arrested and detectives found credit cards, checkbooks, Social Security numbers, and savings bonds.

The limo was a stretch version of the Ford Excursion, but its last excursion was anything but a special occasion.

The folks at Blackstone Limosine got suspicious of a late-night request to go all the way to Spokane.

"The accent was central European and the name they gave was Henderson and it didn't really sound right," said limo driver Tyler Lehmann.

It was going to be a nearly $2,000 luxury ride. They found the real card holder in the phone book.

"And we called them to confirm that they'd actually ordered the vehicle," Lehmann said.

Jodi Henderson's credit card account had charges totaling $7,000.

"It's one of my worst fears," she said. "We have great credit and I would be mortified if somebody took our identities."

That's what they did. So what to do?

The limo company told Auburn police the suspects were to be picked up at a local motel Monday night.

The limo driver volunteered to set up the sting.

And in order to do this right, police say they needed to catch the suspect in the act. They needed to catch them inside the limousine which put the driver at some risk.

The police made it look like a traffic stop ordering the driver away from the limo.

"And when I stepped away from the car the other police surrounded the vehicle," Lehmann said. "It was pretty professional on their part."

One suspect was arrested and police say they found loads of stolen credit cards, driver's licenses, Social Security numbers, savings bonds, and drugs on the back seat.

The Henderson's said they're grateful.

Meanwhile, Lehmann said he's happy.

"I'd do it again next weekend if we have to," he said.

And so the limo that recently carried rock star Prince around, also just gave an identity theft suspect a ride to jail in luxury.

The 20-year-old suspect, Veeny-Ommin Puris, made his first court appearance Wednesday afternoon. Police are still trying to tally up how many people had their identities stolen.
