Virginia Beach traffic stop leads to 5 felony convictions for man
Posted on Jan 29, 2009
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office of Eastern Virginia, his week a man from El Salvador was found guilty in a two-day bench trial of five felony charges stemming from false statements he made on employment eligibility verification forms.
The man, Josue Osmaro Garcia-Ochoa, was investigated after the routine traffic stop of an illegal alien. A Virginia Beach police officer noticed that the illegal alien had a business card belonging to Garcia-Ochoa, 33, leading officials to investigate further.
Garcia-Ochoa, born in San Salvador, was legally in the U.S. in Temporary Protected Status, and was found to have made false statements to three different construction companies. The false statements misrepresented his status as a temporary protected alien, as he twice claimed to be a U.S. citizen and another time claimed to be a lawful permanent resident.
At each construction company, one in Chesapeake and two in Virginia Beach, Garcia-Ochoa presented documentation that concealed his true status. He will be sentenced on May 19 and could face five years in prison for each count.
