He was later identified as Jose Ambrocio Garcia, 40. Bail was set at $1,000.
On Jan.22 at approximately 4 a.m., officers observed and approached a male subject camping in the 1500 block of Palisades Park.

He was placed under arrest for falsely identifying himself to a peace officer and for encamping during park closure. Bail was set at $5,000.
