The presumptive sentence for that offense is 5 years in federal prison, to be served after his stint in a state prison.<br /><br />Another defendant in the case, Jaime Caamal Balam, 27, of Northeast Portland, will be sentenced at a later date for possession of a forged social security card, Copic said. <br /><br />At the time the scam was uncovered, police said street-level sellers approached riders on the street, said they needed money fast and had tickets to sell, then offered them at a discounted price. They included all-day and two-hour adult all-zone fares. <br /><br />When purchased legally, the all-day tickets cost $4.75, the two-hour tickets $2.30.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595057345294486478.post-55895404637629736502013-12-29T20:09:19.848-08:002013-12-29T20:09:19.848-08:00Make change at the Tri Met board.
