A warrant was issued Thursday for an Austin man charged with aggravated forgery who did not show up for a court appearance.

Jose Alberto Diaz-Granillo, 22, was scheduled for arraignment Thursday on one count of the felony offense, but court records indicate he did not appear.

According to a criminal complaint, Diaz-Granillo was pulled over near 14th Avenue and Eight Street Northeast Sept. 18 for a traffic violation and subsequently arrested for not having a valid license or insurance.

His vehicle was registered to a “Joshua Martinez,” who was wanted on a Nobles County, Iowa, warrant for driving after revocation.

The officer asked for identification, and Diaz-Granillo provided a Mexico consulate card with his name and photo on it. He also had a Quality Pork Processors work ID with his photo but the “Martinez” name.

The complaint states that Diaz-Granillo and “Martinez” live at the same 810 10th St. N.E. residence.

When questioned, Diaz-Granillo denied being “Martinez;” he told the officer that he and Martinez were half-brothers with a different mother.
