A Vicksburg man was in the Warren County Jail today awaiting extradition to Colorado to face charges of forgery and identity theft, Vicksburg police Lt. Bobby Stewart said.

Prieto Gustavo, 23, 5900 U.S. 61 South, was arrested at 4:47 p.m. Thursday on a warrant from Steamboat Springs in Routt County, Stewart said.

Gustavo had been involved this week in a wreck in which he was cited for driving without a license, said the lieutenant. His first and last names were initially transposed, causing a delay in identification, but a records check later turned up the Colorado warrant, which had been issued March 11, 2009, Stewart said.

Gustavo was being held at the jail pending his transfer to Colorado authorities.
