ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) – An 18-year-old man was turned over to Border Patrol after he provided false identification to Monroe County Sheriffs deputies at Mendon Ponds Park.
According to MCSO, deputies were conducting a routine patrol of the park to prevent larcenies and other criminal activity
.
During their patrol, deputies found a 'suspicious vehicle' parked in the back corner of a parking lot with a jacket covering the driver's side window. MCSO said deputies observed a male asleep in the driver's seat with a woman also in the car.
MCSO said when asked for identification, the driver, 18-year-olf Marco Antonio Cela Mayancela, showed deputies a photo on his phone of an Ecuadorian ID card containing a picture of a child. Mayancela also provided a passport and with a different name and photo.
According to MCSO, Mayancela later admitted that the passport provided was his fathers. He also allegedly told deputies that he was driving the vehicle, but he did not possess a driver's license, and the owner of the vehicle was unaware he was driving it.
MCSO said after nearly 20 minutes of attempting to identify the man and verify the authenticity of the documents provided, deputies contacted Border Patrol. After Mayancela was arrested for driving without a license deputies said he provided a valid NYS Learners Permit.
Mayancela was charged with Unlicensed Operation of a Motor Vehicle. As the investigation concluded, Border Patrol arrived and identified Mayancela based on previous contacts.
After CBP agents interviewed Mayancela they arrested him. The woman in the vehicle was released and called family for a ride home.
