So starting my company. Going to get LLC done. I want a certain name and I saw another guy has it in my city and state but doesn’t have it LLC or any registered. He’s doing the same line of work I am in. But under false info. If he hasn’t made an LLC can I take the name? And also can I tell him to stop using it?

He's been using it before you, in your industry. Any way you try is a dick move and IMO setting yourself up on a crappy foundation.

He can challenge anything you do by filing a trademark at any time and showing he has been using it before you, in your area, in your industry.

Legally I am not sure but can get annoying, expensive and IMO a bad move.
