Ruben Francisco-Ruben, 36, of Seymour faces charges of presenting counterfeit identification and deception by providing a false government document.

“I showed up and talked to the three men, who admitted they had bought the fake IDs in Tennessee,” Payne said.

The men said they only knew the first name of the person from whom they obtained the IDs, Payne said.

All three were taken into custody and booked into the Jackson County Jail in Brownstown, where they are being held without bond pending their initial court hearings.

All of the charges are Level 6 felonies, which typically can carry six months to two and a half years in prison if convicted. The charges, however, are eligible for reduction from a felony to a Class A misdemeanor.
