LAKE CHARLES – Shortly after 2:00 p.m. yesterday, troopers with the Lake Charles Field Office of the Louisiana State Police Bureau of Investigation responded to a report of an individual attempting to obtain a state-issued identification card using documents that did not belong to him at the Lake Charles location of the Office of Motor Vehicles. Upon arrival, troopers met with the individual, 20-year-old Jefrry Gomez of Toco-Colon, Honduras.
