According to KETK and the Henderson County DA&#8217;s office, Judge Mark Calhoon of the 3rd Judicial District Court imposed the sentence after Haskins pleaded guilty to the offenses.  <\/p>\n<p>Haskins was indicted after Gun Barrel City Officer Jesse Ison performed a traffic stop on Haskins\u2019 vehicle in September of 2011.  Officer Ison obtained consent to search Haskins\u2019 vehicle and located several Texas Department of Public Safety ID Cards that had been tampered with to include a photograph of Haskins and other individuals\u2019 names and information, including birthdates and addresses.  Officer Ison also located more than 50 blank checks containing different bank account information for numerous individuals.  These individuals were found to be living in Cherokee County where their checks and identifying information had been originally stolen.   Haskins has an extensive criminal history including drug and gun possession convictions.  Haskins also has Fraud charges pending in Rusk County.<\/p>\n<p>District Attorney Scott McKee credited the hard work of the Gun Barrel City Police Department in locating and confiscating all the victims\u2019 financial and identifying information so that it could be returned to them.   \u201cIdentity theft crimes are extremely harmful to the victims and the arrest and prosecution of the criminals who perpetrate these crimes is a top priority for my office.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ATHENS \u2014 Michael Shane Haskins, 43, of Troup, was sentenced to 25 years in prison Monday for charges of Tampering with a Government Document and Fraudulent Use or Possession of Identifying Information.
