WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — A driver license examiner pleaded guilty in connection to a scam where authorities say examiners accepted more than $1 million in bribes in exchange for issuing valid licenses and identification cards to illegal immigrants.
Jashonda Kaliha Scott, 25, pleaded guilty Thursday to various charges, including unlawful compensation. Under a plea deal, Scott must report Dec. 2 to begin to a two-year prison term, followed by three years probation.
She and others allegedly conspired in the racket at the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles office in Lantana.
She is the second examiner to plead out and face prison in the scam.
Seven examiners and six facilitators — people accused of helping to arrange the fraudulent transaction — face charges.
