Thread: Crystal Lake man charged with identity theft

WOODSTOCK – A 40-year-old Crystal Lake man accused of using another man’s social security number for employment remained in McHenry County jail Friday on an immigration hold.

Rogelio M. Mota, of 7203 Cowlin St., used a DeKalb man’s social security number on his application at Chroma Corp. in McHenry, said McHenry Deputy Police Chief John Jones. Mota has made $116,335 since Jan. 12, 2004.

The DeKalb man went to McHenry police last month after receiving notification from the Internal Revenue Service that wages connected with his social security number had not been properly reported, Jones said. The DeKalb man had never worked for Chroma Corp., but company officials cooperated with police in determining who had been using that number.

Mota initially refused to tell police his true identity, including a name or birthday, Jones said. After he was arrested, the Automated Fingerprint Identification System showed he had four previous aliases, Jones said.

Mota was charged with identity theft, forgery and resisting a peace officer. His case is next due in court Thursday. The most serious charge is a Class 2 felony, which is typically punishable with between three and seven years in prison.

The U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement officials have placed a hold on Mota’s bond, which means he will face immigration proceedings after his court case is resolved.

I'm surprised Obama didn't give the illegal a position in his cabinet with the other criminals.

He will be back the next day...this is why we need e-verify, if he can not get a job he will quit coming back...this cost for us everytime he comes back just makes me sick, and these people don't give a damn, it is a big game to them.
