A Tennessee Highway Patrol investigation of a fraudulent driver license has led to the arrest of a man wanted for sex crimes in New Jersey. On July 1, Richard Allen Ziegler went to the Scott County Clerk’s Office in Huntsville, Tennessee and completed an application for a Tennessee driver license. An investigation later revealed Ziegler to have had a Tennessee license under the name of Allen Richard Richards, originally issued in 1991. The THP also became aware of sex crime allegations against Ziegler in New Jersey involving at least two children. Sergeant Jonathan Scott notified the Township of Roxbury Police Department and the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office of THP’s investigation and arrested Ziegler charging him with aggravated perjury, a Class D felony, Driver License Fraud and a Class A misdemeanor.
