Two KU students must pay fines
Sentencing ends county's first false I.D. case since 1983

Two KU students who were involved this spring in manufacturing and selling false drivers' licenses out of Oliver Hall were sentenced Friday to pay $100 fines and court costs.
The students are Pamela A. Troufette and Leigh Ann Dennert, both Overland Park freshmen who were roommates in Oliver Hall last semester. The court costs amounted to $88.
Troutfetter and Dennert were charged May 11 with one count each of aiding and abetting dealing in false identification, which is a felony. They later pleaded guilty to an amended charge of attempted possession of a false driver's license, which is a misdemeanor.
Two students from Missouri Western College in St. Joseph, Mo., Steven C. Dean, Osage Beach, Mo., and Keri Lee Dickerson, Camdenton,
Mo., were also charged in Lawrence May 11 with one count of dealing in false identification and possession of forgery devices.
KU Police Lt. Jeanne Longaker said KU police received an anonymous phone call May 6 alerting them that a false identification operation was taking place in Oliver Hall. That night Dean, Dickerson, Troutetter, and Dennert were arrested in the hall.
Dean was sentenced Friday in Lawrence District Court to one to two years imprisonment for dealing in false documents on the KU campus.
Dean was originally charged with one count of dealing in false documents and one count of possession of forgery devices. He pleaded June to dealing in false documents, and the other charge was dismissed.
Dickerson will be sentenced today in district court. She pleaded guilty to
an amended charge of unlawful use of a driver's license.
Denney said that while use of false identification is a misdemeanor, the penalty for manufacturing and dealing false drivers' licenses became a class E felony in 1983. That law was expanded in 1986 to include anything used for identification, such as a KU I.D.
The penalty for a class E felony is up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
Jim Denney, director of KU police on the Lawrence campus, said the demand for false drivers' licences had risen in Lawrence in the past three years as the legal drinking age went from 18 to 21.
"There's a supply and demand problem," he said. "Students didn't need one three years ago, when the drinking age was 18. Now there is a need to be filled."
