LR Country Club Employees Arrested by Immigration Authorities
Little Rock (AP) - Eleven employees of the Country Club of Little Rock have been arrested by federal authorities as part of an identity-theft investigation. U.S. Attorney Bud Cummins says the employees were arrested Thursday and will be arraigned in federal court Friday.
He says they were arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, while Social Security investigators and U.S. marshals were also involved. Cummins declined to characterize the arrests as an immigration raid, but would not say whether any of the employees were illegal immigrants.
Cummins says the charges are more focused on identity-theft issues of misuse of Social Security numbers. A call to the club’s manager was not immediately returned this afternoon, but Cummins says the club’s management had cooperated with authorities in the investigation.
