Couple Amber Naab, 37, and Michael Naab, 34, of West Seneca, N.Y., have been arrested and charged with a felony after using fake vax cards to attend the Bills-Patriots playoff game. They are facing seven years in prison. The couple is obviously part of those anti-vaxxers, and now, they are in trouble with the law.
Here is how it went down via Total Pro Sports:
A Western New York couple has been arrested and charged with a felony for using fake COVID-19 vaccination cards to attend the Bills-Patriots playoff game. According to The Buffalo News, Amber Naab, 37, and Michael Naab, 34, of West Seneca, N.Y., have been charged with criminal possession of a forged instrument in the second degree, a class D felony.
The charges carry a maximum of seven years in prison if convicted, however, Erie County District Attorney John Flynn said in a press conference Wednesday that he would not send the couple to prison.
“I would readily admit, this is not the Kennedy assassination,” Flynn said. “I readily admit this is not the crime of the century.”
He added: “At the end of the day, I’m not going to jam them up. But I can’t just let them go.” The Naabs were able to gain entrance to Highmark Stadium for the Bills’ win over the Patriots, but ended up getting removed from their seats in the third quarter.
“Without their social media posts, Flynn said the couple “probably” would have gotten away with using fake cards,” writes WIVB’s Nick Veronica and Chris Horvatits.
You know they probably had on Cole Beasley’s jerseys.
The DA is right it isn’t the crime of the century, but they need to be punished to discourage others from doing the same thing. The game was a blowout by the 3rd quarter, so they weren’t missing much.
