Dispatchers advised no record was found for that individual when they conducted a computer records check. So, the officer again reportedly asked the man to be honest about his name. Hoffman then noticed the man had begun sweating; he did have a jacket on but it was a cool day outside. The man then admitted he was in fact Eddie Charles Evans, and knew he was wanted because he didn’t report to his parole officer as required.
