Police: Men used stolen NFL IDs to buy motorcycles

Two men used the stolen identities of former professional football players to obtain expensive motorcycles in the Wichita area, police said this morning during a news briefing.
The men are traveling together, and authorities suspect may be involved in other identity theft cases involving present and past players from the National Football League.
Each man walked into motorcycle dealers in Park City and Wichita and signed loans using false identification bearing the names of Dexter Coakley, a free agent who most recently played with the St. Louis Rams in 2006, and retired Dallas Cowboys player Gary Sayre, who now owns a car dealership in that city. Coakley also had played for the Cowboys when he entered the league in 1997.
"They provided sufficient identification to qualify for a sign-and-ride type of loan," Capt. Darrell Haynes of the Wichita Police Department said. "So they were allowed to ride off with the motorcycles."
The suspects are both described as white males. One is 30 to 35 years old, 6 feet tall, 200 pounds. The other is in his 40s, 5 feet 5 inches tall and 180 pounds, with blond hair, a goatee and a rose tattoo on his left hand.
Anyone with information on the men is asked to call Wichita police at 316-268-4336, Park City police at 316-744-2011, or the CrimeStoppers tip line at 316-267-2111.
