David Wayne Henry, a 42-year-old from Kenai, Alaska, faced federal court yesterday after being sentenced to 61 months in prison for his role in the unlawful production of false identification documents and firearms possession. Henry’s conviction stems from a May 2016 plea, where he admitted to using the personal information of others to create various U.S. law enforcement, intelligence, and military IDs, as well as government credentials.
Henry also confessed to possessing an AR-15 assault rifle and three semi-automatic pistols, despite his prior felony convictions that prohibited him from owning firearms.
Court documents revealed that Henry produced numerous phony IDs with the names and personal identifiers of other individuals but featured his own photograph. Among the fraudulent IDs were those for the FBI, CIA, Department of Defense, U.S. Marine Corps, and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Chief U.S. District Judge Timothy M. Burgess emphasized the serious nature of identity theft during sentencing, noting its epidemic proportions and the real consequences for victims. The court aimed to deter Henry from future crimes and protect the public from his actions.
U.S. Attorney Karen L. Loeffler praised the investigation efforts of the FBI, ATF, Alaska State Troopers, Air Force Office of Special Investigations, Kenai Police Department, and the State of Alaska Probation Office.
Henry’s sentence includes three years of supervised release following his prison term.
