But he never sent this form, he said, & at the time it was sent, he was married to a woman. ‘If somebody’s pulled my information, as some kind of supporting information or documentation, somebody’s falsified that,’ Stewart explained. (Stewart’s last name is not included in the filing, so we will be referring to him by his first name throughout this story.)
