Man Accused of Using Stolen Social Security Number to Obtain ID Card
New Orleans, LA – A 31-year-old Nicaraguan man has been charged with using a stolen Social Security number to obtain a Louisiana ID card.
Rolando Antonio Jarquin-Orozco, age 31, was charged Friday, November 30, 2018, in a one-count indictment for illegal use of a Social Security number in violation of Title 42, United States Code, Section 408(a)(7)(B).
According to the indictment, Jarquin-Orozco applied for a Louisiana ID Card in Jefferson Parish using a social security number that belonged to another individual.
A check of the Social Security Administration records indicated that the social security number used by Jarquin-Orozco belonged to someone else.
Jarquin-Orozco faces a maximum term of imprisonment of not more than five years, a fine of $250,000.00, and a mandatory special assessment of $100.00 on the indictment. Additionally, he is subject to a period of supervised release after imprisonment of up to three years. He also faces the possibility of deportation.
U.S. Attorney Peter G. Strasser pointed out that an indictment is merely an allegation, and each element of the offense must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Carter K.D. Guice, Jr. is in charge of the prosecution. The United States Department of Homeland Security investigated this matter.
Jarquin-Orozco is currently facing the charges detailed in the indictment.
