The following press release was published by the U.S. Secret Service on Oct. 12, 2018. It is reproduced in full below.

Edris Alim Sherrieff, 24, of Roseville, Michigan, was indicted on one count of possession of counterfeit credit cards and one count of illegal possession of device-making equipment. Sherrieff was found on July 21, 2017, in possession of 36 counterfeit credit cards, 490 unique credit card account numbers and a credit card encoder, according to the indictment. This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Brian Deckert following an investigation by the U.S. Secret Service and Ohio State Highway Patrol. If convicted, the defendants sentence will be determined by the Court after review of factors unique to this case, including the defendants prior criminal records, if any, the defendants role in the offense and the characteristics of the violation. In all cases, the sentence will not exceed the statutory maximum and in most cases it will be less than the maximum. An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. A defendant is entitled to a fair trial in which it will be the governments burden to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
