Man gets Arizona prison term for selling fake ID documents
A Mexican man living in Arizona illegally has been sentenced to four years in federal prison for selling fraudulent identity documents.
Federal prosecutors announced Friday that 37-year-old Luis Carlos-Reyes was sentenced after pleading guilty in March to two counts of aggravated identity theft.
According to court documents, Carlos-Reyes sold numerous fraudulent documents to individuals in the Phoenix area from July 2014 through December 2015 .
The documents included Arizona driver’s licenses, Social Security cards containing numbers belonging to legitimate Arizona residents and a lawful permanent resident card know as a green card.
When he was arrested in August 2016 , authorities say Carlos-Reyes was illegally in possession of a firearm.
Authorities say the weapon was seized and will be forfeited as part of the sentence.
Carlos-Reyes had been living in Mesa.
