Student pleads innocent to fraudulent IDs

A student plead innocent at his arraignment last Tuesday on charges of possession of fraudulent IDs.

Tyson Heisner, a 20-year-old undecided major, of Thomas Hall was arrested on Feb. 24 when an Illinois Secretary of State Police officer stopped a car Heisner was riding in and found the occupants of the car to have open containers of alcohol and fake IDs.

Heisner may face the possible suspension of his Illinois driver’s licenses, said Sgt. Bob Wingo, of the Secretary of State Police previously.

Also arrested for fraudulent IDs was Thomas Thompson, a 20-year-old management major, of the Pi Kappa Alpha house, who was riding in the car with Heisner. During a search of the vehicle, a New Jersey driver’s license belonging to Matthew Lodding, a 20-year-old management major, of the Pi Kappa Alpha house was found, and Lodding was later arrested for possession of fraudulent IDs.

The students will be given the right to a hearing with the Secretary of State’s office before the office possibly revokes or suspends their driver’s licenses, Wingo said previously.
