(Stillwater, Okla.) — A 20-year-old Stillwater man accused of illegally manufacturing identification cards at his apartment has been ordered to appear in court on April 10 for arraignment on the felony charge punishable by up to seven years in prison and a $10,000 fine on conviction.
Tevohn Robert Graves, who remains free on $5,000 bail, came to the attention of the Apex Apartments manager at 1822 N. Perkins Road when a man moving into Graves’ apartment on Feb. 17 reported that manufacturing of fraudulent IDs was occurring inside Graves’ apartment, an affidavit alleged.
“While in the process of moving in, (he) observed in plain view, in the common area, printing equipment surrounded by several driver’s licenses that belonged to people not associated with living in the apartment,” Stillwater Police Officer Joey Johnsonbaugh alleged in an affidavit.
The mother of the man, who had planned to move into Graves’ apartment, was inside the apartment on Feb. 18 to help her son “retrieve the rest of his belongings since he did not want to stay. (She) provided me photographs of a printer, heat sealing printer, fake driver’s licenses and a lamp used for taking head shots that were all out in the common area.
“Two IDs were face up on the table, and those IDs have been run through Stillwater dispatch and confirmed to have no valid return from Oklahoma Department of Public Safety,” the officer alleged in his affidavit.
“On 2/28/24 at 9:25 am, Special Projects and myself served the search warrant. Tevohn told us that he was the middleman in obtaining IDs for other people. I was able to collect seven false IDs that were located throughout the residence that Tevohn was in possession of,” the officer alleged in his affidavit.
