BRIDGEPORT — The ex-husband of a former state Department of Motor Vehicles employee, imprisoned for selling licenses to illegal immigrants, has been charged with helping an illegal immigrant obtain a license.
Bill Lucas, 32, was arrested Monday night by State Police at his home on Elmhurst Avenue in Stratford.

He was charged with conspiracy to commit bribery and conspiracy to commit second-degree forgery. Lucas was released after posting $100,000 bond, pending arraignment July 27 in Superior Court.

State police said Lucas illegally helped an immigrant obtain a license in 2004.

DMV employees Tracy Lucas Stevenson, 32, of Stratford, and Venita Bines, 41, of Bridgeport, were each sentenced to seven years in prison last October.

According to state police, Lucas Stevenson and Bines headed a ring that included at least three other DMV workers, Hells Angels, exotic dancers and illegal immigrants who sold Connecticut driver's licenses and identification cards.

Police said that between January 2001 and December 2004, the group sold 1,767 licenses out of the Bridgeport DMV office for a total of nearly $3.1 million. Police said authorities have recovered only 200 of the licenses.

Lucas Stevenson sold 453 of the licenses for about $854,000, police said.

These people are scum and deserve to be put in prison.

Now if we could just go after the coungresscritters, the President, Mr. Chertoff, the employers and all others who are facilitating this travesty.

This isn't the only scam. Try immigration. There have numerous people in Miami who were charged for getting legal SS numbers for illegals and greencards they were not entitled to. There hasn't been too much of it lately but 2 years ago it made the news on a regular basis.
