Illegal aliens charged $2K for driver's license
By Marcus K. Garner



A Marietta driver's license examiner was charged with extortion and conspiracy for selling Georgia driver's licenses for $2,000 to illegal immigrants and others who didn't qualify.


Gbemisola Wellington-Salako, 35, was indicted Monday and arraigned before U.S. Magistrate Judge Gerrilyn Brill. Wellington-Salako was granted $20,000 bond.

“The sale of any official government document to those who are not qualified is a major public safety issue," GBI director Vernon Keenan said. "This type of activity facilitates fraud related crimes that could impact homeland security.â€
