Wilmington- Often in law enforcement, officers come across individuals, who quite frankly, make matters worse for themselves.  This was the case when a patrol officer came into contact with Mr. Chad Bean, 30, of Three Rivers Court in Newark. 

On Tuesday, June 10^th, at approximately 10:33, Mr. Bean was a passenger in a vehicle stopped for a traffic violation on Robinson Lane and Maryland Avenue.  Officers asked Bean for his name at which time he told them he was Kwame Brown.  When no record came back in the computer system for a “Kwame Brown,”

Troopers re-addressed Mr. Bean.  When his true identity was uncovered, another computer check was conducted which revealed Mr. Bean was wanted on a capias out of the Court of Common Pleas- with a total bail due, of yes, $60.00.  In essence, Mr. Bean picked up a new charge of Criminal Impersonation, for lying to officers over $60.00 bucks. 

He was committed to the Howard Young Correctional Institute in lieu of the $60.00 bail.
