Oakland is about 12 minutes outside of Brantford Ontario, where the fake DLR was circulating. Oakland is the home of Dean Hajas, the music producer who reportedly had the fake DLR (whom he says is the real deal) at his house for a few weeks. The Ontario Provincial Police know who the guy is, as he's passed himself off in several Canadian Provinces and American States and they are actively pursuing him. It definitely has made the local news circuit in all forms of media and has been a hot topic of conversation here in Brantford, that's for sure. A city known for our hockey stars; now we have a great tall tale of Diamond Dave. Just goes to prove how immensely popular Van Halen are, any story, even a fake one, takes on a life of its own.

Const. Larry Plummer of the Brant OPP said today that the man may have violated the Highway Traffic Act in May when he identified himself as the famous rock star to two constables in Oakland. Brant OPP pulled the man over when they saw him driving erratically. After identifying himself as Roth, the man told police he was having an allergic reaction to nuts. Police stayed with him until paramedics took him to hospital. After he was discharged, the impostor and two nurses went for drinks in a bar in downtown Brantford. The man got up on stage with the band that was performing and delivered a rendition of Ice Cream Man, a song Roth covered during his solo career. “He scammed a lot of people,” Plummer said. It is a violation of the Highway Traffic Act to lie about your identify during a traffic stop. If lying about your identity or predicament prevents police from conducting a proper investigation, the result could be obstruction of justice charges under the Criminal Code. Plummer says they have identified the Roth impersonator. They haven’t located him and will not release his name. When police do find him, the Brant OPP wants to speak to him. “He’s done this in other provinces and other states,” Plummer said. “He’s an old hand at it.” Brant OPP are investigating a man who passed himself off to police and others as Van Halen lead singer David Lee Roth.
