He then gave the officer an Ohio driver's license that identified him as first-year Kyle Compton, 19. According to the report, the officer asked Compton to step out of the vehicle and to bring the license with him. Compton allegedly told the officer he didn't know what he was talking about. Robinson asked to see his wallet, and when Compton gave it to him, the place where the Kentucky license had just been seen was empty. Upon investigation of the Honda, Robinson located the Kentucky license that identified the male as 22 years old. Compton was cited with possession of a fake ID and for performing a U-turn.
