MORGAN HILL (CBS SF) – Police learned the true name of one of two San Jose women arrested early Tuesday morning in Morgan Hill for allegedly stealing mail at an apartment complex.

One of the suspects was initially identified by police as Latasha Judge, 37, and was sent to Santa Clara County Jail, where officers learned her real name is Fleitcha Johnson, police said Wednesday.

Fleitcha Johnson and Myisha Johnson, 36, were arrested on suspicion of possession of burglary tools, mail theft, felony vandalism and on outstanding warrants, police said.
