FOX8 WGHP -- Three people, including a Department of Motor Vehicles officer in Winston-Salem, are in jail on charges of selling fake drivers licenses, birth certificates, passports, Social Security cards and illegal drugs to illegal immigrants in the Piedmont.

Randolph County Sheriff Maynard Reid said Vincente Trujillo sold fake documents to illegals; then brought them to a DMV office in Winston-Salem, where his wife, Gee Holloman reportedly issued them illegal licenses.

"We can say there have been hundreds issued," said Sheriff Reid.

Holloman, according to the DMV, has been an employee with the department since 2003. She was based out of the Silas Creek Park office, but would often fill in at other branches.

"Everywhere she's been she's probably done this," said Reid.

Investigators said a third person, Comelio Alvarez, would find the immigrants and send them to Trujillo, who would reportedly broker the deal.

On March 16, 2007 two undercover officers from Randolph and Moore County purchased an N.C. Drivers License using fraudulent documents and identification from a DMV Officer in the Mayodan DMV Office located in Rockingham County.

On March 27, 2007 Detectives executed a search warrant at 2501 Friends Ave in High Point. Found in the house were numerous North Carolina drivers license, birth certificates, passports, Social Security cards and other documents believed to be used in the fraudulent issuances of the N.C. drivers licenses.

During this three month investigation, Alvarez sold approximately 59.1 grams of cocaine to an undercover officer.

Holloman, 49 is charged with two counts of obtaining property by false pretense and two counts of violation of wrongful issuance of driver’s license. Trujillo, 39 is charged with two counts of obtaining property for false pretense and aiding and abetting the wrongful use of a driver's license. Each are being held on $1.5 million secured bond at the Rockingham County Jail.

Alvarez, 27 is charged with four counts of trafficking cocaine, possession with intent to sell and deliver cocaine, selling and delivering cocaine within 300 feet of a daycare, and felony possession of cocaine. He is being held in the Randolph County Jail under a $1 million secured bond.

HIGH POINT, N.C. | A former Division of Motor Vehicles employee faces federal charges for distributing fake driver's licenses produced on the job.

Gee Annette Holloman, 48, of High Point, was charged along with her boyfriend, illegal immigrant Timoteo Torres-Ulloa, and Cornelio Portuguez Alvarez, a federal indictment said. The three worked to produce fake licenses sold to undercover officers in March, according to the indictment handed down at the end of July. Holloman was arrested Friday.

The three face charges of producing a fake driver's license, conspiracy to produce false documents and improper use of a Social Security number.

Holloman worked as a driver's license examiner from November 2003 until March of this year, finishing her time at the agency's Winston-Salem office. She and Torres-Ulloa were arrested on state charges in March.

Torres-Ulloa was illegally in the United States and had been deported after a 1999 DWI conviction in Montana, according to the indictment.

Alvarez also faces drug charges for distributing cocaine.
