IOWA CITY, Iowa, Sept. 4 (UPI) -- Police say an Iowa man accused of credit card theft forgot who he was supposed to be and allegedly signed his real name on credit card slips.

Merrival, who allegedly confessed to using the credit card but denied stealing the wallet, has been charged with an aggravated misdemeanor, the Press-Trust reported.
