I don't know about you, but if I was going to pretend I was someone else online, I think i would pick someone other than a Davenport, Iowa Weatherman.

Cops busted 24-year-old Matt Wendt and charged him with two aggravated misdemeanor counts of identity theft.

Wendt is accused of impersonating Greg Dutra, Weather Anchor at KWQC in Davenport, on social media accounts.

Dutra says he was contacted by a woman who claimed she and Dultra had communicated through several messages online.

At that point Dutra called in the cops and they traced Wendt down and arrested him. 

Police say they knew the guy was a fake weatherman when he gave them the forecast for the next day and it was actually right.

Ha ha...we're kidding....sort of.
