Bennie Witt is a man who managed to faked his drowning death nearly 20 years ago off a Florida beach. Whew! This thing was found out by a North Carolina police who stopped him for a traffic violation. He told the police that he faked his drowning death in Daytona Beach, Florida, in 1989.Bennie Harden Wint, now 49, was found alive and well in North Carolina during a routine traffic stop Saturday. He's got a common-law wife and a teenage son named William James Sweet -- the same name that Wint had been using for nearly two decades.
Wint finally came clean after being stopped by police because the light over his license plate was out. When he was unable to produce anything to identify himself as Sweet, Wint was arrested for not having a license. At some point while the police were interviewing him, he confessed that his real name was Bennie Harden Wint. Weaverville Police Sgt. Stacy Wyatt, who interviewed Wint, said the entire story was "kind of like a movie."
