MILWAUKEE — A man who tried to board a plane with nine blank passports and $44,000 in cash pleaded guilty Tuesday to making a false claim against the United States and having fake identification.

Ousman Sillah, 30, of Kent, Wash., was arrested March 7 at Mitchell International Airport in Milwaukee after he tried to evade a security checkpoint. Authorities say he also had five different Social Security cards and five different driver’s licenses.
