FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Two arrests in 4 days have resulted in two people being jailed for having possessed or used false information to receive an Indiana BMV Identification Card and an Indiana BMV Learners Permit following traffic stops in Jackson County.
On 3/24/16, Abraham Soto-Jaimes (35) of Seymour was arrested after being stopped for a traffic violation in the 9000 E. Block of Enos Rd. Mr. Soto-Jaimes was initially charged with operating a motor vehicle having never received a driver's license, a class C misdemeanor. However, while being booked into the jail, the arresting officer found an Indiana BMV identification card with a variation of the name, Soto Abraham. BMV records showed that the ID card was fraudulent. Mr. Soto-Jaimes received an additional charge of False Application for a Government Identification Card, a level 6 felony. He has since bonded out $1,505.00 cash bond.
On 3/29/16, Alejandro Clemente-Gregorio (45) of Seymour was arrested after being stopped for a traffic violation on CR 340 N. Mr. Clemente-Gregorio was also arrested for operating a motor vehicle having never received a driver's license. However, BMV records showed that his Indiana Learners Permit status was invalid/revoked and indefinitely suspended for failing to validate the Social Security Number he had reported to the BMV. Further investigation found that Mr. Clemente-Gregorio had been "given" a SSN to use when he came to work in the United States but it was not assigned to him by the Social Security Administration. He is currently being held without bond in the Jackson County Jail.
Both incidents were investigated by Reserve Deputy Scott Davis. |
