Yonathan Rosario, 30, of Kissimmee, has been arrested on one count of unlawful possession of the personal identification information of another person, one count of unlawful possession of the personal identification information of a deceased person, two counts of unlawful possession of fictitious driver licenses, and one count of manufacturing counterfeit driver licenses. All five counts are third-degree felonies.

According to the FDLE, it began investigating the alleged scheme after the Department of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) said it intercepted a package in Ohio from an international delivery service that contained blank cards embedded with the State of Florida hologram. During its investigation, FDLE agents identified Rosario as a suspect.

Rosario was serving felony probation for fraud-related charges out of Georgia.

Together with Rosario’s probation officer, agents conducted a search of Rosario’s residence and vehicle, where they reportedly seized sensitive tax documents and driver licenses bearing other people’s personal information. Agents also said they seized a laptop computer where further evidence of the suspected crimes was found, including digital copies of other people’s driver licenses from multiple states and instructions on how to manufacture counterfeit Florida driver licenses and ID cards.

The Osceola County Sheriff’s Office arrested Rosario at his residence on April 27 on the FDLE warrant.

Rosario was booked into the Osceola County Jail on a $11,000 bond. The Office of the State Attorney, Ninth Judicial Circuit, will prosecute the case.
