Clovis Man Indicted for Producing Fraudulent California Driver’s Licences and Counterfeiting Money

FRESNO, Calif. — A federal grand jury returned a six-count indictment today against Larry Landseadal, 46, of Clovis, charging him with production of false identification documents, possession of false identification documents, possession of document-making implements, possession of 15 or more fraudulent counterfeit access devices, counterfeiting United States currency and possession of images for counterfeiting United States currency, United States Attorney Benjamin B. Wagner announced.

According to court documents, Landseadal possessed over 260 profiles of individuals, including their names, social security numbers, and other personal identifying information. He also produced false California driver’s licenses and possessed both counterfeit United States currency and images used to counterfeit United States currency.

This case is the product of an investigation by the United States Secret Service, the Clovis Police Department, and the Fresno Police Department. Assistant United States Attorney Mia A. Giacomazzi is prosecuting the case.

If convicted, Landseadal faces a maximum statutory penalty of 30 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Any sentence, however, would be determined at the discretion of the court after consideration of any applicable statutory factors and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, which take into account a number of variables. The charges are only allegations; the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
