SACRAMENTO — A federal grand jury Thursday issued an indictment against the co-owner of an Orland business, alleging 10 counts of creating and distributing false identification documents.
Camilo Reyes, 37, was taken into custody Sept. 13 at a Walker Street business called "Chayito," which he reportedly operates with another person.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents made the arrest with the assistance of Orland police.

The arrest concluded an investigation that began last December, when an undercover ICE agent went to the business, a variety store, and asked Reyes about getting false identification documents produced.

According to a complaint filed in federal court, Reyes allegedly said he could produce an alien registration receipt card, also known as a green card, for the agent, as well as a Social Security card.

In an affidavit, the agent claimed Reyes would supply the Social Security number. Reyes remains free on bail of $25,000. The California Department of Justice said the case is still under investigation and hasn't ruled out additional arrests. If convicted, Reyes faces a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison, a $250,000 fine, and three years of supervised release.
