According to detectives, Pu will face a second felony charge for fraudulent use of identifying information after they discovered that the Social Security number he was using belonged to a 66-year-old man from Las Vegas.

Investigators said they contacted the victim, who confirmed that it was his SSN and that he did not allow Pu to use it.

In a statement to Eyewitness News, Lupe Tortilla said it was cooperating with law enforcement and commended the team members and managers who reported the crime to authorities.

Court documents stated that Pu is a Guatemalan national who had lived in Houston for approximately 2 years and that he worked as a dishwasher at Lupe Tortilla.

Pu was initially released on bond, but police said he has since been rearrested and remains in custody.
