Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

fraudulent use of identification
I was charged with fraudulent use of identification. My intent of using the namesake, address, phone # of the person who filed the affadavit was NOT obtain goods or money. It was to contact a 3rd party & basically bait them into slandering me & my business. The 3rd party has done this in the past however I have had problems getting proof of this. Therfor I thought I would creat an email address with a false name & address & phone #. Unfortunately, the name, address & phone # were not false, they actually belonged to someone I knew. Furthermore, the account that I created required a credit card for identification purposes. I entered the credit card & NEVER used it & NEVER intended to use it other than that. This person gave me her credit card & personal info because she was a past coustomer of mine. How likely is it that the charges could be dropped due to the fact that I did not intend to steal money or obtain goods? Also the investigator was out of his jusisdiction & I told him so when he came to interview me. He is from a different city than the city that I lived in when the incident allegedly occured. Also is there a statute of LIM? This happened 11/15/07? Thank you

Re: fraudulent use of identification

I do not see the state dropping the charges and the statute hasn't run. Hire a lawyer.
