HENDRY COUNTY, Fla. — A man wanted in Kentucky was captured Tuesday during a traffic stop in Hendry County. 

Florida Highway Patrol Lt. Greg Bueno said 46-year-old Kenneth Wynn committed a traffic violation and was pulled over on Highway 27.  

He said Wynn had numerous fake IDs, which included a New York Driver's License, a Florida ID card and a social security card.  

Troopers eventually figured out Wynn's real identity and confirmed he was wanted on outstanding warrants from Kentucky for leaving a halfway house. 

Wynn disappeared while serving time for trafficking in controlled substances and driving without a license, according to investigators. 

Troopers arrested Wynn and took him to the Hendry County Jail where he will await extradition back to Kentucky.
