Jamaican National Sentenced for Illegal Re-Entry and Identity Theft in New York
Rochester, NY – Carl Spencer, 51, a/k/a Carl Spence, a/k/a Barrington Antonio Stewart, a/k/a Clyde Crenshaw, a Jamaican national, has been sentenced to 66 months in prison for illegal re-entry and aggravated identity theft.
According to U.S. Attorney William J. Hochul, Jr., Spencer was previously deported and removed in 2006 after being prosecuted and convicted of drug crimes. On November 9, 2012, Spencer was found by agents with Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
When stopped by agents, Spencer presented a fake Georgia driver’s license in the name of Clyde Crenshaw, a United States citizen and resident of the NYC area.

The case highlights the importance of immigration enforcement and the consequences of attempting to re-enter the country illegally. It also serves as a warning to those who would seek to commit identity theft and other crimes.
