BRIDGEPORT - Instagram is no friend to Dominique Florian. The Fairfield college student was so excited when he got his driver’s license that he posted a photo of it on the social networking site - only to have someone steal the information and use it when the as yet unidentified man was arrested on a drug charge. It took a persevering prosecutor, a thorough Trumbull cop and a retired lawyer to sort it all out Thursday as Florian stewed outside a Golden Hill Street courtroom. A seasoned prosecutor, Tatiana Messina has heard it all. So, when Florian approached her in the courtroom before the call of cases Thursday claiming he was the victim of stolen identity, Messina was skeptical. She had heard it all before, she told him.
