GASTONIA, N.C. -- Eyewitness News has learned that a European man who was allegedly driving a sport utility vehicle outfitted like a police car has been accused of eluding police in the past.

Now Gaston County authorities have asked the Center of Missing and Exploited Children to check and see if Milan Krivsky or his unusual Jeep appears in their databases in Missouri or West Virginia. Those are the last two states where he is known to have lived before he was pulled by troopers in Gaston County this weekend.

Gaston County troopers said they called police in Lewisburg, W.V., and learned that officers there suspected Krivsky was producing fake vehicle registrations. They said after they questioned him, Krivsky disappeared and his room was professionally cleaned. Police said they found out that his apartment had externally mounted cameras allowing him to see people just outside.

On Saturday authorities seized dash cameras, a siren, a blue light and other electronic equipment from Krivsky's Jeep Grand Cherokee. Federal Bureau of Investigation agents plan to go through his laptop computer. Troopers said it contained pornographic images of what could be minor boys.

Krivsky was stopped near Belmont on Saturday afternoon for speeding on Interstate 85, the Highway Patrol said. That's when, they said, they discovered equipment that made the Jeep look like an undercover police vehicle, complete with a Department of Homeland Security sticker on the back window.

They said what was even more disturbing was what they found in a duffle bag -- gloves, a box cutter and duck tape.

Troopers said information found in the SUV show that Krivsky has traveled the country and has worldwide connections. They said he did not reveal that he was a citizen of the Czech Republic. They found that information on his passport and visa.

Krivsky is being kept in jail on an immigration hold.
