The jumper was reportedly in possession of five different forms of identification when he was taken into custody, along with around $14,600 in cash.<\/p>\n

He told the authorities he \u201cdid not want to report the currency in his possession because he thought he was going to be taxed duties for bringing in the currency\u201d.<\/p>\n

Several of the confiscated IDs belonged to a \u201cJeremy Omar Gonz\u00e1lez D\u00edaz\u201d, including a Tennessee ID and a Puerto Rican birth certificate, PEOPLE said.<\/p>\n

The man\u2019s boarding pass was also registered under a different name – \u201cJeremy D\u00edaz\u201d. <\/p>\n
