Florida Man Gets Prison In New Mexico Identity Theft Case

A Florida man has been sentenced to four years in prison in an identity theft case in New Mexico.

Prosecutors say 51-year-old Clinton William Yetter, of Gainesville, also was sentenced Thursday to two years of supervised release after he serves his prison term.

Yetter was indicted in May 2013 on two counts of making false statements and two counts of aggravated identity fraud.

The indictment alleged that Yetter made the false statements while applying for U.S. passports in New Mexico's Bernalillo County in October 2011 and May 2012.

Yetter also was accused of using the name of another person in making the passport applications.

He pleaded guilty to the two charges without the benefit of a plea agreement earlier this year.
