Detectives say Nigel Thompkins-Wilson used false documents and information, including a Social Security card in the name Steven Edwards, as well as a Social Security number and date of birth not belonging to him, to apply as a manager at the Verizon store on the 1700 block of Lakewood Ranch Boulevard in Manatee County.
