Having the same name gets woman arrested

KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) - September 9, 2010

Now, deputies finally believe her.

The 31-year-old woman was arrested after getting off of a cruise ship.

She was mistaken for a suspected prostitute wanted in central Florida with the same name.

But Londono the mom is older, shorter and looks completely different.

The Orlando Sentinel reports Londono was jailed for more than 36 hours before her attorney could persuade a judge to let her out.

Authorities say they relied on incorrect information when confirming her identity.
