DECATUR, GA. (AP) -- Authorities have arrested a 21-year-old Decatur man they say had a cache of phony documents, including 98 fake credit cards.

Henry County police got a tip that Issa Diallo was going to use a fake credit card at a Kroger last Wednesday. Police spokesman Jason Bolton says authorities arrested him after he allegedly used a homemade American Express credit card to buy a $400 gift card.

Police say they later recovered a counterfeit driver's license, three fake driver's licenses and some counterfeit money, some of it in a bag in his car.

A message left at a phone number listed for Diallo was not immediately returned Wednesday.
