The couple, Amber and Michael Naab, 34 and 37, were arraigned Tuesday night in Orchard Park Town Court, each charged with one count of criminal possession of a forged instrument in the second degree, Erie County District Attorney John Flynn said in a press conference Wednesday. The charge is a class D felony, which carries a maximum seven year prison sentence.
Flynn said the couple allegedly got a blank Centers for Disease Control and Prevention vaccine card, and then filled in their name, date of birth, a fake Pfizer lot number and put down they were vaccinated at a CVS store.
The district attorney said the couple had been on the Bills' radar beforehand as they allegedly had posted on social media that they had gotten into previous games with a fake vaccine card. During the third quarter of Buffalo's blowout 47-17 win over New England on Jan. 15, Flynn said officials from the team and the Erie County Sheriff's Office approached the couple in their seats and took them in for questioning. The Buffalo Bills then told authorities they wanted them prosecuted.
