A Texas Department of Public Safety agent on Friday afternoon arrested two people accused of creating counterfeit IDs to gain employment and rent a car, officials said.

Mike Padilla Jr., 36, is being held in Bexar County Jail on charges of forgery, theft of service, theft of check, resisting arrest, fraudulent use or possession of ID information and tampering with a government record. A judge set bail at $19,700 total.

Maria Guadalupe Padilla, 40, was released after posting $20,000 bail on charges of making or possessing a counterfeit insurance document, theft of service, fraudulent use or possession of ID information and tampering with a government record.

It was not immediately clear how or if the two people are related, but public records show they live at the same address. Arrest warrant affidavits state the same DPS agent investigated charges on both people.

In December, Maria Padilla reportedly rented a vehicle from Enterprise Rent-A-Car using what authorities later determined was a counterfeit Texas Driver License Temporary Permit, the affidavit states.

The identification number was found to belong to someone else, according to officials. She also provided insurance information for a policy that expired in June, the affidavit states, and then failed to return the vehicle. It was reported stolen to the Leon Valley Police Department and was recovered in May, officials said.

Mike Padilla Jr. is accused of using his father’s identity to get a job at a medical clinic. In January, he used his father’s social security number and date of birth on at least two forms, the affidavit states, including a counterfeit Texas Driver License Temporary Permit.

Both people were arrested around 3:40 p.m. Friday, records show.

A woman was jailed Thursday after police said she knocked a man and his walker to the ground at a grocery store parking lot in an effort to steal cash from his pocket.

Yolanda Peterson, 56, remained in jail Friday in lieu of $75,000 bail on a felony charge of aggravated robbery of an elderly person causing bodily injury, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.

Peterson tried to hug Jerald Janke, 67, in an effort to distract him, and when he “politely tried to ignore her” because he did not know her, she reached into his pocket, according to the affidavit.

As she pulled out his cash, she knocked Janke down, along with his walker, the affidavit states.  He sustained a possible broken rib and abrasions.
