PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A federal magistrate judge says a former Oregon Liquor Control Commission inspector accused of masquerading as a long-dead Ohio boy will be allowed to get married in jail.
Finally identified in May as Bulgarian-born Doitchin Krasev, the man recently sought permission to wed in Multnomah County’s Inverness jail. He’s held on a federal charge of falsifying a passport application. He also faces further charges of identity theft in Ohio.
U.S. Magistrate Judge John Acosta has given the OK and will permit a minister or other official authorized by the jail to perform the ceremony. Krasev’s bride-to-be hasn’t been identified in court papers. Jail officials say it will be up to her to obtain a marriage license.
