BALTIMORE - An Adelphi woman pleaded guilty Tuesday for her role in a conspiracy to unlawfully sell 162 Maryland driver's licenses - mostly to illegal aliens, the U.S. attorney's office said.


In a plea agreement, Ana Maria Lorena Creque, 45, worked for an automobile dealership in Beltsville where she prepared paperwork relating to automobile titles and tags, a job that brought her into contact with employees of the state Moter Vehicle Administration.

From 2005 to 2006, Creque met with people who were willing to pay to obtain a driver's license illegally, usually because they were illegal aliens.

Prosecutors said Creque and others were paid between $2,500 to $3,800 for each fraudulently issued Maryland drivers license.

Creque helped the applicants get to the Beltsville Branch of the MVA and directed the applicants to a co-conspirator's workstation at the agency.

Creque then paid the co-conspirator employed with the MVA about $1,300 for each license.

Creque faces a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison.
