Fictional Story: Mistaken Identity

Associated Bank Milwaukee, WI

Bank of America Baltimore, MD

Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago Chicago, IL

The National Bank of Indianapolis Indianapolis, IN





For many years, 25 years to be exact, Frederick Baker was locked up in jail for a crime he didn't commit. It happened in Indianapolis, IN where a man have robbed banks in Chicago, Wisconsin, Maryland, and Indiana and every time the man got away successfully. Frederick Baker appeared in court and it appeared that he was linked to the bank robbery crimes that had over $35,000 missing at the Chicago bank, $45,000 missing at the Wisconsin bank, $15,000 missing at the Maryland bank, and $50,000 missing at the Indiana bank. Something didn't add up, Frederick Baker was in jail for all of those robberies and assault with a deadly weapon but how can a man be in Chicago, Wisconsin, Maryland, and Indiana like that unless there was an accomplice or accomplice's with him during those crimes? Freddie Baker probably know a lot more to this story that maybe he is not telling. The detectives in Indianapolis decided to do an investigation. They checked Frederick Baker's records and learned that for 25 years he was in jail for a crime he never committed. 

Evidently, this guy who they found out that did those crimes used an Alias name Frederick Baker and his real name is Alan Rodriquez. Alan Rodriguez has a history of crime sprees. He doesn't drink but he smokes weed, he smokes joints, and he gets high on cocaine. Rodriguez started stealing when he was 17 years old and met up with some friends who were a bad influence on him. Their names are Paco, Eddie, Ricky, and Ryan. Rodriguez and his boys always came packing with guns, knives, and crowbars whenever they would come to the rough cities of Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, and Wisconsin. Rodriguez is quiet but when he is around friends he can become very temperamental and he has a violent streak. He has been arrested for domestic violence for beating up his ex-girlfriend Jessica Rivera. Jessica put out a restraining order against Alan, so if he set foot on her property then the cops would arrest him and take him to jail.

The detectives learned that the real Frederick Baker was a hardworking man, who supported his wife Christine Baker, and their 4 kids, Frederick Baker, Jr., Melissa Baker, Trisha Baker, and Christopher Baker. Freddie Baker was released from criminal charges and a felony murder that Alan Rodriguez AKA Alias Frederick Baker committed when he shot and killed a bank teller at the Maryland bank. Rodriguez boys tried fleeing to Mexico until the cops followed them to Mexico on a car chase and arrested them and took them back to Indiana.

Frederick Baker will never forget how rough it was spending time in prison and being locked up in a jail cell. His wife and his 4 kids will never forget that ordeal, either. Frederick's kids are all grown up and it was unfortunate for them to see their own father in jail when he was innocent. Sometimes the law can screw up but they really made a big mistake when they thought that Frederick Baker would do such a thing. Frederick Baker have never been arrested or went to jail, he never drank or did drugs, and he didn't have a violent streak at all, his wife referred to him as someone "who would never hurt a fly." Freddie Baker's identity was mistaken for a big time criminal Alan Rodriguez. Rodriguez and his boys will be locked up behind bars for life and will experience the same pain that Baker had to endure.
