According to Insurance Journal and Dave Sunday, Attorney General, Anthony Percell of Philadelphia County has officially plead guilty to felony charges stemming from stealing a deceased classmate’s identity to obtain a driver’s license, vehicle registration, car insurance, a US passport, and most concerning, a concealed carry firearms permit.
Insurance Journal writes, “Sunday said Anthony Percell pleaded guilty in Philadelphia County Court to insurance fraud, theft by deception, identity theft, and forgery. Percell also was prosecuted federally for using the deceased classmate’s name and identification information to obtain a passport and airport access. Using the identity of the classmate — who died in 1986 — Percell also filed a workers’ compensation claim.”
According to his plea agreement, Percell will serve between 6-23 months in prison, seven years of probation thereafter, and is ordered to surrender any materials/assets obtained fraudulently.
Sunday also noted, “This defendant brazenly stole the identity of a classmate who died decades ago, and used that information to apply for a concealed firearms permit and other privileges, potentially putting the public at risk.”
