Melrose Firefighter Unmasked: Alleged Identity Theft Unveiled

A shocking revelation has rocked the Melrose Fire Department: a firefighter has been accused of serving under a stolen identity. Federal prosecutors, unsure of his true name, are referring to the individual as "John Doe."

The accused faces charges of aggravated identity theft and making false statements on a passport application. He allegedly assumed the identity of his deceased cousin, Henry Huang, using it to obtain a driver's license, graduate from the state fire academy, and secure a position as a Melrose firefighter.

The deception began unraveling when he applied for a U.S. passport under Huang's name, triggering an investigation that exposed his fraudulent activities.

Melrose Mayor Jen Grigoraitis confirmed the arrest and stated that the firefighter has been placed on leave. Authorities are still working to uncover the man's real identity.

This case highlights the potential vulnerabilities in identification systems and the lengths some individuals will go to create a false life.
