HICKORY, NC (WBTV) - The father of 10-year-old Zahra Baker, who was killed and dismembered last fall, was arrested by police in Hickory on Tuesday and faces felony charges.
According to police, Adam Baker was arrested and charged with one count of Identity Theft and one count of Obtaining Property by False Pretense. Both of these charges are felonies, police say.
Police told WBTV that the charges filed on Tuesday are related to obtaining services from Duke Energy and are not related to the death of Zahra Baker.
WBTV has learned that Baker was charged by police after getting power to his home in Hickory under false pretenses. His wife, Elisa, is facing similar charges in Caldwell County from when the couple lived there.
On Monday, WBTV learned that Baker was seeking to leave the United States and head back to his home country of Australia.
A meeting between police, the district attorney and Adam Baker's attorney was scheduled for Tuesday to see if Baker can get his passport back for an eventual return to Australia. WBTV has learned that the meeting has been put on hold for now.
