A Kenai man was sentenced Monday in federal court to 5 years in prison for making false identification documents and identity theft.
David Henry, 42, was sentenced by Chief U.S. District Judge Timothy Burgess to 61 months in prison and three years of supervised probation for the first two crimes, in addition to being a felon in possession of firearms, according to a release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Alaska.
He pleaded guilty on May 19 to illegally “using the names, Social Security numbers, and dates of birth of other individuals to manufacture numerous different types of U.S. law enforcement, intelligence, and military identification documents and government credentials,” according to the release.
Henry’s face appeared on the fake IDs, according to the release, but alongside the personal information of other people. The Kenai Police Department aided in the case investigation along with the FBI, Alaska State Troopers and others.
Henry has four prior felony convictions but was found with multiple firearms when he was arrested even though the convictions prohibit him from owning them, according to the release.
