Cincinnati Man Pleads Guilty to Creating Fake ID Documents

A Cincinnati man has been brought to justice after pleading guilty to creating fake identification documents claiming he was a federal employee and agent.

David Lomache, 61, was arrested by federal agents on April 16, 2021, after he was indicted by a grand jury. According to court documents, Lomache fraudulently obtained a United States Federal Contractor badge in order to impersonate a civilian contractor technician for the Defense Logistics Agency.

In January of 2021, Lomache produced fake identification documents for both the Defense Logistics Agency and for Homeland Security Investigations (“HSI”). He listed his titles on the fraudulent documents as “Civilian Contractor Technician” and “Homeland Security Special Agent.”

Fraud in connection with identification documents is a federal crime punishable by up to 15 years in prison. The case was announced by Vipal J. Patel, Acting United States Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio; Vance Callender, Special Agent in Charge, Homeland Security Investigations; and Hamilton County Sheriff Charmaine McGuffey before U.S. District Judge Matthew McFarland.

Assistant United States Attorney Megan Gaffney Painter represented the United States in this case.
