St. Joe's Prep must be so proud.
A Prep grad and Philadelphia native enrolled at Columbia University, Anthony Johnson Jr., 19, has been charged in New York with having 42 fake IDs.
Johnson, who plays football at Columbia, was arrested last week after being seen holding a package addressed to him on March 22 that contained fake driver's licenses, a New York County Criminal Court complaint stated.
"I ordered the IDs online because there's a lot of places around school where you need to be 21," Johnson said, according to the complaint. "The IDs were $65 each. I charged my friends two dollars on top of the $65."
The fake driver's licenses came in a package from the China-based company ID Chief, the school's student newspaper reported.
A Daily News cover story earlier this month found that ID Chief's realistic Pennsylvania and New Jersey IDs have been causing problems here for bar owners, police officers and government agencies. The IDs are difficult to detect as fake because they are equipped with the hologram and ultraviolet images that bar employees check when inspecting licenses.
