False Name Leads to Obstructing Justice Charge

The following information was supplied by the Geneva Police Department. Where arrests or charges are mentioned, it does not indicate a conviction.

Geneva police arrested Desmond Commings, 24, of Montgomery on charges of driving with a suspended or revoked license and obstructing identification around 2:17 a.m. Nov. 10 in the 1400 block of South Randall Road, reports said.
