How do I file criminal charges against someone who used my identity over the internet to apply for a credit card account?

I have the IP address of the person who used my identity to try to open a credit card account in my name. I had my friend who is a Network Systems Engineer lookup the IP address on Reverse DNS and found out it came from a Sprint Wireless Aircard. I wish to file charges against this person because I am certain who it is and all I need to prove is that that person used their aircard to connect to this site to apply during said time. Should I go to a prosecuter with this info? - Is this your question? Add additional information

I would contact either local law enforcement or preferably the Secret Service or FBI. Make sure whatever law enforcement officer you get is fluent in computers. Below is some information I have on my website regarding computer crimes.

Good luck!
