A Honduran man illegally in the United States was held without bond Tuesday after confessing to selling fake tax forms to undocumented foreigners, who used them to defraud the Internal Revenue Service, Kenner Police Chief Steve Caraway said Tuesday. Marvin Baca, 28, who lives in LaPlace, was arrested Friday, and police found $20,000 in his vehicle.
He sold bogus W-2 forms, and possibly more, Caraway said: “The information we got is that he was the guy people would call when they were looking for forged documents.”
Baca’s arrest shows how lucrative is the business of fabricating official papers for illegal immigrants, Caraway said.
“It’s a sign that it obviously is widespread, and there’s a lot of money involved in this,” he said.
Officers Brad Boyd and Ethan Hales encountered Baca when they responded to a disturbance in the 3000 block of Loyola Drive. He was arguing with a man upset that the fake W-2 forms Baca had previously sold didn’t work, Caraway said.
“The other individual was trying to get his money back,” Caraway said.
