PORT RICHEY - When a deputy first approached him on Tuesday, the man said his name was James Riese.

Not true, according to the deputy's report. Riese was the man's brother. Riese is dead.

Then the man provided a Florida ID card, a Social Security card and copies of a birth certificate. They all listed his name as Daniel Joe Robinson.

This was not his real name either, the report said.

Eventually, the deputy discovered the man's actual name: Jamie John Carr.

Carr, 34, is a fugitive from Kingston, Tenn. He is wanted in Roane County on 28 counts of child rape and 10 counts of exploitation of minors.

Carr raped two children under age 13 between 1998 and 1999, according to Frank Harvey, senior assistant district attorney in Tennessee's Ninth District. Harvey also said Carr possessed computer images of minors engaged in sexual activity.

Tennessee authorities want to extradite, Harvey said. They issued a warrant after Carr missed an Aug. 4 court hearing there.

Here in Pasco County, Carr is charged with giving a false name to a law enforcement officer, using false information to get a driver's license and criminal use of personal identification information.

He was held without bail on Wednesday.
