| Woman
will be deported for identity fraud after serving sentence
By Jason A. Givens
November 30, 2006 | A North Logan woman was sentenced
Tuesday to 60 days in the Cache County Jail.
Elvia Flores-Molina, 26, received the sentence for
two third-degree felony identity fraud convictions.
After serving her sentence she will be turned over to
the Department of Homeland Security to be deported to
Mexico.
Flores's attorney, Ron Perkins said, "I think my client
is a good person." Perkins requested his client be turned
over to Homeland Security for deportation as soon as
possible.
However, Maybell Romero, a prosecutor from the county
attorney's office, said the state wants Flores to serve
some time before being deported.
First District Court Judge Thomas L. Willmore described
identity fraud as a "growing problem," and said Flores
significantly affected the lives of two people. He added
that she has family here and could have tried to enter
the country legally.
"Good luck to you," Willmore said after he finished
with the sentencing.
