According to an arrest report, Atanasiu had been living at the Yacht Club at Aventura, and he tried using a Washington state driver’s license to pass as Robert Janksy during a traffic stop in North Miami Beach.
On Monday, Sunny Isles Beach Police Department detectives arrested Atanasiu at 4:30 p.m., and Miami-Dade County correctional officers booked him at 10 p.m.

Miami-Dade County Circuit Judge Laura Maria Gonzalez-Marques was set to preside over the cases.
