HAMILTON — The Mexican man who held down two jobs in the Dayton area with an identity stolen from an unemployed Oklahoman is in federal custody awaiting deportation, according to federal authorities.

Jose R. Acosta, 51, was being held in the Butler County Jail “pending his removal from the U.S.,” Khaalid Walls, a spokesman for U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement said in an email on Wednesday, March 31.

Last week, Acosta was sentenced in Warren County Common Pleas Court to three years on probation, but held for federal authorities, for using documents identifying him as Christopher Wilson, 42, of Antlers, Okla., to obtain jobs with a Springboro clockmaker and maintenance contractor for Miami Valley Hospital.

Wilson said he remained unemployed.
