PHOENIX - A Sahuarita man is behind bars after using two different people's identities for the last 13 years while he avoided arrest for felony warrants.

The Arizona Department of Transportation used its facial recognition technology to identify Sandro Tentory, 43, after finding two matching photos under different profiles in ADOT's database.

ADOT detectives found that Tentory had felony warrants for weapons violations in addition to a violent criminal history.

The FBI has identified Tentory as a member of the "Maniac Latin Disciples" gang, according to an ADOT release.

Detectives arrested him at his Sahuarita home June 7, where they found fraudulent ID cards and credit cards, as well as financial documents related to the false identities.

Tentory faces five counts of forgery, ADOT said.
