SEATAC, Wash. - Port of Seattle police and the FBI arrested two convicted forgers who were about to board an airplane to Los Angeles carrying dozens of phony driver's licenses, credit cards and other documents.

Lamos Wayne Sturgis and Jodi Lynn Waller were arrested Friday at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. They drew attention to themselves by paying cash for one-way tickets to Los Angeles and not checking any luggage.

An inspection of their carry-on bags at a Transportation Security Administration checkpoint reportedly turned up dozens of identity documents, many bearing their photographs, from several different states.

Some of the documents bore photos of other, unidentified individuals, according to federal charging papers filed this morning. A check of driver's-license databases showed those individuals were not the people the licenses were issued to, said FBI Special Agent Kathleen Moran.

Sturgis and Waller were each charged with a single count of possession with intent to use or transfer five or more false identification documents.

National crime computer records show Waller has used several aliases, and has a 1997 conviction for forgery. Sturgis also has used several other identities.

Moran says Sturgis was convicted in April of forgery of a financial transaction card in Georgia.
