Dale Earnhardt Jr. Impersonator Foiled
In a major coup for identity theft prevention, authorities shut down a man claiming to be Dale Earnhardt Jr. on various message boards across the internet.
The man, who went under the clever guise of DaleJuni0r, was apprehended in his parents' spare room last night.
"This gentleman had been posing as Dale Juni0r, deceiving hundreds of loyal Nascar fans", arresting officer Tony Reede explained. "We were able to zero in on him by reading his profile, then tracking his diecast purchases for the past 4 months.
The perpetrator, who's real name has not yet been released, used a lethal combination of a DSL line and an innate knowledge of the real Earnhardt Jr.'s career to fool many a web surfer.
"Whenever someone asked him a personal question, like where he'd finished in a race years ago, boom, he'd have the answer", Reede said. "We think he was using the Nascar almanac, though we cannot be sure yet."
Earnhardt Jr. was vacationing in Montana and was unable for comment, though his team released the following statement: "It does our hearts good to see this thug go behind bars. Let this be a lesson to anyone who thinks of becoming DaleJuni0r1--the price is just too much to pay."
