A 38-year-old Utah woman is accused of impersonating her 21-year-old daughter to try to avoid new criminal charges during a traffic stop over the weekend. Heather Garcia was busted early Saturday morning in Farmington, a city just north of Salt Lake City, driving without a valid license or a license plate and carrying drugs in her car, according to the Davis County Sheriff’s Office.

In court records obtained by CBS affiliate KUTV, police said she told cops her name was Mercedes and she was born in 1998. It didn’t take long for police to learn through a check of her records that Garcia had given them her daughter’s name and age, according to the report.

Authorities said the mother, who had active warrants for her arrest, also had a white powdery substance and drug paraphernalia in the vehicle.

Garcia was charged with providing false personal information to an officer, possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, driving with a suspended or revoked license and other offenses.

1. I'm sorry, but this story along with the pic makes me laugh

2. Doubt you'll be alone in your laughter.

Having not applied makeup in my lifetime, I'll have to rely on the expertise of others. She's not good at the whole makeup thing, right?

Guessing the first visitor's day with her daughter is going to be a bit awkward, too.

3. I think she's great at makeup if you want to look like something out of a Dracula movie.

7. It really looks like she had a lot of that makeup tattooed on. Whatever, it is ghastly. nt

5. What,... ? She seems nice.

Must have bonded with her daughter real tight,... trying to light her ass on fire and all that.

Mommy will not be wandering free for an extended time period.

10. Just hazarding a guess that no one thought...

...she was 21.

That is one hideous mug shot.

11. I'm not a bartender or a cop, but no, I wouldn't take her for a 21 yr old...

Nope, not falling for that one.
