Jerry Michael Beaman, 47, of Pittsburg was arrested by Pleasanton police Monday for identity theft and receiving stolen property in an incident that began with a report of a suspicious vehicle.

Beaman was stopped for a broken license plate light in the parking lot of the Best Western Plus Pleasanton Inn in the 5300 block of Owens Court.

During the stop, Beaman has found to have a woman's license in his pocket; the woman, from Pacifica, had been the victim of an auto burglary a week prior, according to police reports.

More driver's licenses and other documents with Beaman's name and photo were found in the car and a search of his room turned up drug paraphernalia and more credit cards, a total of 11, with two driver's licenses and other miscellaneous documents also seized in the search.

Beaman was also arrested for methamphetamine possession and paraphernalia possession. He was arrested at about 12:26 a.m. Jan. 28.
