KINGSTON, Mass. (AP) – A Louisiana man displaced by Hurricane Katrina has been given 30 days to vacate the town-owned property he has been living in rent free for six months after he was arrested twice in one day.

Seantomas Shaw, 39, was arrested early Monday and charged with marked lane violations and driving without a license. He was arrested again Monday night and charged with driving without a license and other charges, including forging a Registry of Motor Vehicles document. Shaw was sentenced in Plymouth District Court on Tuesday to three months in jail, suspended for one year, on the forgery charge. Other charges were either continued or dismissed.

He received a letter Monday notifying him he had 30 days to vacate the town property.

Shaw said he has lost his job as a chef at the Pilgrim nuclear power plant. “I’m right back where I started after the hurricane,” he said.

Police said Shaw stole a license plate from another car and put it on his car. His driver’s license was suspended in Florida and his South Carolina driver’s license had been altered, police said.

Shaw had outstanding warrants in Georgia for larceny, and in Florida for a probation violation. He also had outstanding warrants in California, police said.

When police ran Shaw’s fingerprints through a national crime database they discovered he had 12 aliases, many of which were variations on his real name.

Shaw apologized to Kingston citizens, but said there was great misunderstanding about his past. He told the Patriot Ledger of Quincy that he had never been to Georgia and did not know what the Florida warrant pertained to.

Shaw said he had many aliases because his name is often misspelled.

Town select board Chairman Paul Gallagher said the house was subsidized by a Federal Emergency Management Agency grant and the subsidy was coming to an end. The house was only offered as a temporary arrangement until Shaw got back on his feet, he said.

Gallagher said a criminal background check was done on Shaw.
