An illegal immigrant from Adell has been charged with identity theft for allegedly using another man’s Social Security number to work at a Plymouth dairy farm.


Ivan Garcia-Marin, a Mexican native living at 237 First Ave., could face up to three years in prison on the count of felony identity theft for financial gain, filed Thursday. A jail official said Garcia-Marin is in the country illegally.

According to a criminal complaint:

Garcia-Marin, 26, was pulled over Wednesday by the Sheboygan County Sheriff’s Department. He provided Wisconsin and Mexican identification cards under different names, but said he did not have a driver’s license. A deputy also found a Social Security number and a pay stub for Goeser Dairy.

Garcia-Marin admitted buying the card for $100 and using it to work at the farm.

Garcia-Marin was also charged with misdemeanor operating without a license, which carries a maximum penalty of 30 days in jail.
