NEWS / Wyoming Man Pleads Guilty to Buying Fake Diplomatic IdentificationKANSAS CITY, MO—Matt J. Whitworth, Acting United States Attorney for the Western District of Missouri, announced that a Cheyenne, Wyoming man with connections to the sovereign citizen movement pleaded guilty in federal court today to buying fraudulent diplomatic credentials. Blake W. Bestol, 47, of Cheyenne, Wyoming, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Dean Whipple this afternoon to the charge contained in an Aug. 6, 2008 federal indictment. Between Aug. 13 and Dec. 21, 2006, Bestol obtained an identification card that purported to be diplomatic identification and carried the title of “Ambassador” next to his name. Bestol admitted that the seal of the U.S. Department of State printed on the card made it appear that the diplomatic identification card had been issued by, or with the authority of, the government. Bestol also admitted that he purchased the fraudulent identification to attempt to claim that he had some type of diplomatic immunity as a result of having such a card. He knew, however, that he was not, and never had been, a diplomat recognized by the Dept. of State, and had never been employed by the Dept. of State in any capacity. Under federal statutes, Bestol is subject to a sentence of up to five years in federal prison without parole, plus a fine up to $250,000. A sentencing hearing will be scheduled after the completion of a presentence investigation by the United States Probation Office. This case is being prosecuted by Special Assistant U.S. Attorney M. Alexander Menzel, Jr., and Assistant U.S. Attorneys Daniel J. Stewart and Brian Casey. It was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Kansas City, Mo., Police Department. |
