Deputies: Man Had Counterfeit ID

A 26-year-old man is facing felony charges after deputies say he used counterfeit identification to try to obtain a Florida ID card.

Mario Raymundo-Agustin, 27174 Elaine Drive, Bonita Springs, was arrested Thursday and charged with two counts of possessing a counterfeit ID card and one count of giving false information on a driver’s license/identification application.

Arrest reports say Raymundo-Agustin entered the Collier County Tax Collector’s driver’s license office at 2348 Immokalee Road, North Naples, on Thursday afternoon.


Raymundo-Agustin, who deputies say is a Guatemalan national, presented a driver’s license office examiner with a Social Security card and a U.S. Department of Homeland Security employment authorization card.

The employee, suspecting the documents may be fraudulent, notified a CCSO deputy who was on duty at the driver’s license office.

Further analysis by the deputy found both documents to be counterfeit, reports said.

Raymundo-Agustin gave the deputy permission to search him. The search turned up another counterfeit employment authorization card, reports said.
