MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- A woman accused of trying to get into Fort McCoy with fake identification is set to stand trial in federal court in Madison.
According to court documents, Georgina Ponce Mendoza approached the visitor registration area at the fort on Feb. 17 and handed a fake state identification card to the guard.
Mendoza spoke only Spanish, but another woman with her told investigators Mendoza had just been hired by a temp agency to work with her at the fort. Mendoza acknowledged through a fort translator she was in the country illegally and had been arrested in the United States last year. Fort police also found a fake Social Security card in her bags.
A grand jury indicted her on one count of identification fraud the same day. She is set to stand trial in June. Her attorney, Erika Bierma, didn't immediately return a message.
