A 46-year-old Stateline man who admitted giving away his dead baby daughter's identity to help a woman obtain a fraudulent driver's license was sentenced Tuesday to two years probation.
Rodrigo Lopez Loranca pleaded guilty to possession of a document to establish false identity.
"This is a serious offense and sort of an 'offensive' offense to use your deceased daughter's identification in this way," Gamble said.
If Loranca fails probation, he faces 30 months in Nevada State Prison.
"You have many duties on probation and if you don't complete them, I will send you to prison," Gamble said.
Loranca was accused of illegally transferring his daughter's Social Security number and birth certificate to a woman for a driver's license.
He was arrested in March after an investigation by the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles.
He told Gamble he was not paid for the transaction.
"I'm sorry for what I did," Loranca said. "I know it was wrong and I won't do it again."
Gamble ordered Loranca to complete 40 hours of community service. He must abstain from drugs and alcohol and stay out of bars or casinos unless employed there.
Loranca also must cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement regarding his residency status.
