While being booked, Madison County Jail personnel discovered that Casas had used a false identity when he was arrested and while being processed at the jail, police said. Casas was later charged with felony obstruction of justice for providing a fictitious identity.

Bond was set at $20,000 for Casas, who remains in custody at the Madison County Jail.
