LAS VEGAS (AP) — A former Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles clerk has pleaded guilty to a federal bribery charge for accepting thousands of dollars to provide driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants.

The 28-year-old Nancy Brown of Las Vegas entered the plea Tuesday to one count of federal program bribery. She faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine at sentencing March 6.

Prosecutors with the U.S. Attorney’s office in Nevada say Brown was a front-line clerk at the DMV office on Sahara Avenue in Las Vegas.

Authorities say she used third parties to recruit customers who didn’t have identifying documents, and typically charged $1,500 to $3,000 for each license. A plea agreement says she issued about 214 licenses illegally between February 2010 and April 2011.

Rat, I will see your crooked DMV clerk from Las Vegas, and raise you six from New Jersey.


[quote]NEWARK — Six clerks for the state Motor Vehicle Commission conspired with criminal brokers to create and sell fraudulent driver’s licenses to customers who did not have the proper identification or who were in the country illegally, state authorities said today.

The scheme occurred at motor vehicle agencies in Lodi, East Orange, Edison, Jersey City and North Bergen, where the clerks sold 40 invalid licenses for $2,500 to $7,000 each and then split the money with the brokers that set up the sales, Attorney General Paula Dow said.

“We have zero tolerance for corrupt motor vehicle clerks, who can undermine public safety through their access to personal information and their ability to issue driver’s licenses,â€
