Undocumented Alien Charged With Identity Theft

PHILADELPHIA - An indictment was filed charging Eulogio Bautista, an undocumented alien from Mexico, with producing a false identification document after he obtained a Pennsylvania driver’s license in the name of a person who is a citizen of Puerto Rico.

According to the indictment, Bautista obtained the false driver’s license using the other person’s name, date of birth, and social security number in 2009, and then renewed the false driver’s license in 2013 and 2017.

If convicted, Bautista faces a statutory maximum sentence of 15 years, a possible fine, a period of supervised release, and a $100 special assessment on each count.

The case was investigated by Department of Homeland Security and is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Laurie Magid
