United States Attorney Joe Kelly announced today that on
July 26, 2019, United States District Court Judge Robert F. Rossiter, Jr.
sentenced Mechelle Anna Major, age 32, of Clinton Township, Michigan, to 31
months’ imprisonment to be followed by three years of supervised release for
fraudulent use of social security numbers and aggravated identity theft. There
is no parole in the federal system.
Major, using stolen identifications of credit worthy actual
people, in October 2018 at the Viaero cellphone retail stores in Norfolk and
Wayne, Nebraska, purchased and attempted to purchase high-end cellphones. Major
provided high-quality counterfeit driver’s licenses and social security numbers
of actual people to the Viaero stores for the purpose of qualifying for credit
to purchase the cellphones. Upon Major’s arrest on October 25, 2018 at the
Viaero store in Wayne, additional sets of counterfeit identification documents
were found in her purse. Currently there are outstanding warrants for Major in
the States of Kentucky and Colorado for similar criminal conduct related to
identity thefts.
This case was investigated by the Office of Inspector
General for the Social Security Administration, the Federal Bureau of
Investigation and the Wayne Police Department, Nebraska.
