ERIE COUNTY, NEW YORK STATE: Michael Naab, 34, and Amber Naab, 37, two Buffalo Bills fans, were detained for reportedly attending a game with fake vaccination certificates. They were charged with criminal possession of a forged document in the second degree and were arrested this week. The duo reportedly entered the Bills' home playoff game against the New England Patriots on January 15 with their fake vaccination certificates.

During a press conference, Erie County District Attorney John J Fynn said, “I readily admit this is not the crime of the century. I hate to be the guy that says, ‘I need to send a message.’ I don’t like being that guy, but you can’t do this. There’s a law. We’ve got laws on the books.” Flynn informed that the couple acquired blank vaccination cards and later filled them to attend Bills games at Highmark Stadium. Since September, the Bills have mandated evidence of immunization for home games. New York Governor Kathy Hochul approved a law on last year December which says making fake coronavirus vaccination records is a criminal act.
