Foreigner Found With Prepaids, Cash In Murrysville Is Held By Feds

GREENSBURG, Pa. -- A man from the Republic of Georgia is being held in the Westmoreland County Prison after he and another man from that country were found with 15 prepaid cell phones and $4,200 in cash, police said.

The Tribune-Review reported that Malkhaz Zakutashvili, 53, was held through the federal Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Murrysville police said the federal agency told police not to hold the second man, Zurabi Maisuradze, 25.

Police said the men were questioned just before 8 p.m. Saturday because their van, which did not have a permanent registration plate, was stopped in a lane of traffic in the Franklin Plaza parking lot.

The men said they were immigrants, but each displayed Michigan driver's licenses, police said.

Zakutashvili told police he was in the country illegally, Tappe said. Maisuradze claimed to have a visa, but he said he had forgotten to bring it with him.

The prepaid cell phones, which the men had recently purchased in Monroeville and Murrysville, were found inside the van. Also in the van were a laptop computer and global-positioning software.

A bomb-sniffing dog found nothing suspicious in the van, which had no seats or wall paneling inside, police said.

The men said they were on the way to Philadelphia and had visited a local drug store to buy batteries, police said.

Hey, there is nothing sinister here. They only needed driver licenses so they could vote Democrat. Nothing untoward about that, is there?

They have to be white Christians...otherwise the police would not have been permitted to detain them. ;)

I wondered about that, too. But why would organized crime guys need global positioning software?

Same reason most of us have it...to find their way around. Remember, these guys were immigrants. Perhaps they didn't have maps of the area internalized.

I use GPS software in my notebook PC on trips.

Very helpful.

I wonder if they came from a Secretary of State's office in Dearborn?

Feds say thousands may have lied to get Michigan licenses

An illegal with temp tags, 15 untraceable phones, $4200 in cash and a laptop with GPS.

Yup. Sure sounds unsuspecting to me. (oh brother!)

Zakutashvili told police he was in the country illegally

Another stand-up guy...just here doin' jobs Americans won't do.
That's sarcasm, Mr. President. When will you fix our borders, if ever?

People who break the law to get into the country will lie to get
a driver's license?
Well, who would have ever thought of such a thing?
(end sarcasm)

I have gone to China on vacation a few times (yes, P.R.C.). When I went, I had a laptop computer, a GPS, and a cell phone with some pre-paid SIM cards. Fortunately for me, I had no trouble with the government authorities while there.
