Well, looking at his picture, it's understandable why Bob Dylan wasn't recognized right away. As far as anyone knew, he was just another weird old guy.
But here's the story from CNN:
The rock legend was stopped in July by police in Long Branch, New Jersey, who were responding to a call about a suspicious person roaming the neighborhood, police said ... according to Long Branch Police Department Sgt. Michael Ahart, Dylan had been peering into a window of a house that was for sale, which prompted a neighbor to call the police on July 23. One of two responding officers, Officer Kristie Buble, 24, approached Dylan and asked him for his name ... "she recognized the name, she just really didn't believe it was Bob Dylan."
A personal footnote here: Back when I was driving a taxi in Johnson City, TN, one of my regular customers was named Robert Redford. A real good guy, and he looked nothing like the movie actor. You wouldn't believe the number of times he'd showed his driver's license to folks who just didn't believe him.
