| Three College Students Arrested for Fake IDs |
Three Michigan college students have found themselves in trouble with the law after a package containing 48 fake ID cards was intercepted by federal authorities.
The package was being sent from Toronto. At this time, it has not been reported what the students’ intentions were with the fake IDs or what they planned to do with them.
Immigration authorities confronted two of the students last Wednesday, Barak Leibovitz of West Bloomfield and Samuel Hamburger of Royal Oak. A third student, Zachary Firestone of West Bloomfield, was also arrested when he came to pick up 21 of the 48 ID cards.
All three students attend the University of Michigan, and have each been charged in federal court for their involvement in the crime.
