SOUTH HACKENSACK, N.J. (CBSNewYork) -- Police have arrested a New York man after he was allegedly found with 33 fake identification and 13 credit cards after trying to use a fake card to purchase $10,000 in flooring at a New Jersey retailer.

Authorities say Anand Clifton Persaud, 60, gave a manager at Lumber Liquidators in South Hackensack a fake California ID with a matching Chase Visa card, and was apparently intoxicated while attempting to make the purchase.
