20-year-old Daniel Alfredo Burleson was taken into custody after he allegedly used a fake Hawaii ID to access a bar in Iowa.
He was arrested by Johnson County Sheriff’s Office deputies on October 11, according to the Iowa City Press-Citizen.
When officers approached him, he was holding an alcoholic beverage and admitted to drinking a ‘mixed drink containing vodka.’
The intoxicated Burleson was then confronted inside the bar, according to deputies.
His Hawaii driver’s license ID card had the single name ‘McLovin,’ an alias made famous by the 2007 film Superbad. In the movie, a character named Fogell uses the card to buy alcohol from a liquor store.
The McLovin cards can be purchased on Amazon for around $10.
Burleson initially refused to show deputies his real ID but gave it after he was removed from the bar. His real ID showed that he was under 21, which is the legal drinking age in Iowa.
“When officers asked for the def’s [Burleson’s] fake ID the def stated the did not have one. [He] then pulled out his wallet and began shuffling through the wallet and police would see the def’s fake Hawaii ID with the name “McLovin DOB 06/03/1961,”” the report said.
Burleson is set to appear in court this month for the possession of a fictitious ID.
According to the Iowa City law firm, Keegan, Tindal & Mason: “Possible consequences include up to a year in jail, a fine of up to $1,875, driver’s license suspension, and higher insurance premium.”
The website for Thompson Law Office also explained: “Mere possession of this type of ID is a crime. More than likely the actual penalty would be no jail time and a fine of around $315, plus costs and court costs making the total closer to $500.”
