NAPLES — A 45-year-old plumber sent by his employer to work at the Collier County jail Thursday morning was arrested after authorities determined his driver license and Mexican identification card were bogus.

Armando Celis-Juarez, 45, 4190 Washington Drive, No. 108, Naples, was charged with possession of a fake ID and possession of a fake driver license, both felonies.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has also placed a hold on Celis-Juarez.

Just after 9 a.m. Celis-Juarez, a plumber employed by Shamrock Plumbing, showed jail employees a Florida driver license that looked "fake," the Collier County Sheriff’s Office reported. All contractors or employees of contractors are required to produce valid identification when reporting for work at the jail.

Deputies trained at detecting counterfeit documents determined that Celis-Juarez’s driver license, Mexican ID and Mexican driver license were all counterfeit, officials said.

Anthony Bierley, Shamrock’s on-call plumber Friday night, said his company checked Celis-Juarez’s documents when he was hired. He said he believes Celis-Juarez’s Visa has since expired.

"Our company works in the jail quite regularly here and in Immokalee," Bierley said. "He was our only Hispanic employee. He was bi-lingual and he had illegal documentation, that’s why he was arrested."

Bierley said Celis-Juarez is a good person and a hard worker.

"The only law he ever broke was our immigration laws," Bierley said.

"The only law he ever broke was our immigration laws," Bierley said. WRONG! He broke a whole slew of laws when he decided to use someone else's identity... his entire life here in the US is based on lies. Another idiot with the open mouth insert foot malaise.

One more down; are the borders closed; is the interior laws being enforced?

We need the third party candidates to decide and put support behind just one of them. Candidates of the Third Parties we don't have much time, get to talking!

I'm tired of this nickle and dime stuff. I thought Homeland security was going to fight mismatch social security numbers this August. What is the update? Is Alipac going to try help mandate e-verify for all employers? Thanks for any responds.
