HAMILTON - Two men who may be illegal aliens from Mexico have been arrested in Butler County on forgery and identify fraud charges for allegedly forging identification cards.

An undercover investigation led the Butler County Sheriff’s Office to Jose Edgar Diaz-Aguirre, 33, and Nestor Jesus Pineda-Ramos, 25.

Undercover officers met Pineda-Ramos on Tuesday in West Chester to arrange the buy, providing a photo and name for the documents.

The two men then met officers on Wednesday at a Fairfield Mexican restaurant to deliver the forged social security card and permanent resident card. They were arrested at the scene.

Deputies found marked money and a ledger showing previous sales of other identification cards, including cards from several states.

The pair admitted to being illegal aliens, deputies said. Diaz-Aguirre said he entered the county about a month before the arrest.

Both are being held in the county’s correctional complex and could face deportation.
