A city man was arrested on Monday for allegedly obtaining a driver’s license using fraudulent identification information, according to the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office.
Mohamad Khalaifeh, 36, was charged with obtaining a driver’s license by knowingly displaying or uttering information of another and tampering with public records with intent to defraud, authorities said.
In September, authorities received information Khalaifeh provided someone else’s personal identifying information and documents to the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission to obtain a driver’s license.
