LINCOLN — A Grand Island man is accused in federal court of using fake COVID-19 vaccination cards.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office filed an indictment against 34-year-old Jason Olderbak on Tuesday. It charges him with fraudulent use of seals of the United States on a vaccination card on July 30. Court documents don’t reveal many details, but say he bought or procured vaccination cards with a fake Center for Disease Control seal.

If convicted, Olderbak could face up to five years in prison, a $250,000 fine and  three-year term of supervised release.

His initial court appearance is set for August 30.
