Despite saying that he didn't believe the defendant had learned from his mistakes, a federal judge on Tuesday sentenced the man to 46 months in federal prison, the lower end of a sentencing guideline, for identity theft and fraud.
In October 2017, Jason Lynch, 41, possessed many fraudulent credit and debit cards, a passport with a name that wasn't his and other instruments related to fraud and identity theft, according to court documents.
Those discoveries were made after a car crash involving Lynch, where fraudulent credit and debit cards were found on the scene, and a search of his hotel room at the Days Inn in Cabot netted a laptop with 306 credit and debit card numbers and three-digit security codes on it under a name that wasn't his.
