GTV NEWS: Feds bust largest-ever counterfeit ring in West Michigan
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) - Federal agents say they've busted up the largest-ever counterfeit document ring in West Michigan that allegedly produced green cards and Social Security cards for illegal immigrants.
They say the documents have allowed thousands of immigrants to live and work here illegally.
"We consider this the largest fraudulent document ring in West Michigan," said Ken Duke, resident agent in charge of Immigration and Customs Enforcement Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) in Grand Rapids.
HSI agents, working with other agencies, arrested 11 people, including at least six members of one family, who allegedly sold the documents for years all over West Michigan.
Agents say the group often worked in the parking lot ofRoosevelt Market, 1428 Grandville Avenue SW,recruiting potential customers by handing out business cards.
Among those arrested, Juan Jose Moralez-Martinez, who was indicted in 2004 for producing counterfeit documents but had eluded police for eight years. He is part of the Morales family that was "notorious" in Grand Rapids for providing false papers, Duke said.
Also arrested was his brother, Jacinto Morales-Martinez, who was identified by an informant as a leader of the organization.
Ricardo Uriel Morales-Jimenez, who is the son of Jacinto Morales-Martinez and was known as "scarface," allegedly worked as a runner by collecting photographs and biographical information of potential customers, agents said.
All 11 are citizens of Mexico who are in the United States illegally; two had been previously deported.
Feds say the group produced documents at a trailer on Tarpon Street SW in Wyoming about five years ago. Agents raided that facility in 2007, leading to five indictments and prison time for four people, including a Morales brother.
Duke said the group most recently was producing documents at a home on Plett Street SW in Grand Rapids.
And, he said, they used high-tech equipment in an attempt to keep ahead of the law. Documents show they used thumb and flash drives to store the templates of fake documents.
Often, potential customers took their own photographs with cell phones, texting them to the group, which then used them to produce the documents.
The arrests followed two undercover buys of fake documents in December 2011 and the following month, records show. The first buy -- $110 for a green card and Social Security card -- happened in Holland; the second -- $130 for the same documents -- happened in a laundromat parking lot in the Grand Rapids area.
ICE agents worked with police from Grand Rapids, Wyoming, Holland, the Ottawa County Sheriff's Department, Michigan State Police, and with the U.S. Marshal.
GTV NEWS: 4-hour standoff ends peacefully
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) - After more than four hours, a standoff between Grand Rapids police and an armed man ended peacefully around 7 a.m. on the city's southwest side.
Initially, police responded to a report of shots fired on Lynch Street and saw four people at that scene. Officers tracked down a suspect at a home on Coate SW, which is where the standoff began.
Eventually, authorities went into the home and found that man on the second floor. The other three suspects - including a juvenile - were also found.
They were taken to police headquarters for questioning.
There are no reports of injuries at this time.
GTV NEWS: Man held in July 4, 2011 shooting
GRAND RAPIDS, Michigan - A man in the Kent County Correctional Facility on unrelated charges was arraigned Wednesday on charges related to a shooting at Rosa Parks Circle in downtown Grand Rapids last Fourth of July.
Devontae Traquell Collier, 20, is serving one year on unrelated charges for shooting a Kentwood youth pastor.
Tuesday, the Kent County Prosecutor's Office authorized a two-county warrant. Collier was charged with assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder and third-offense habitual offender.
Collier declined to say anything at his Tuesday afternoon arraignment.
Over the past year, the Metropolitan Area Major Case Task Force was able to interview people and gather information about the Fourth of July shooting incident that happened in a packed downtown Rosa Parks Circle, which helped lead to an arrest.
The night of the shooting, one victim was found by police at the scene. Another victim was found at the hospital. Both people had been shot in the leg.
Police say it was not a random event. Rather, Collier had had some kind of altercation with at least one of the victims before Independence Day, then saw him downtown and opened fire.
Police say there were two shooters: Collier and another man.
"That was, I think, a rare event," said GRPD Capt. JeffreyHertel. "I don't think it had anything to do with downtown. I think it had to do with two people seeing each other downtown at the same time and that's why it occurred. It could have occurred in any city street. ... Unfortunately, where we had a concentration of people celebrating the Fourth. It was bad."
