ATLANTA (AP) -- A former Cobb County Department of Driver's
Services worker and another man have been sentenced to federal prison after pleading guilty to handing out fake driver's licenses in exchange for money.
A federal judge in Atlanta sentenced 36-year-old Gbemisola
Wellington-Salako of Marietta to 15 months in prison; 33-year-old Jules Armand Che Siewe Achou of Atlanta was given 13 months in prison. Siewe Achou, a native of Cameroon, will also face a deportation hearing after he serves his sentence.
Prosecutors said Wellington-Salako, who worked as a driver's
license examiner in Marietta, agreed to help Siewe Achou provide fake licenses to people willing to pay up to $2,500 starting in 2007.
Three other men have pleaded guilty to helping Siewe Achou find customers. Two were sentenced to 8 months in prison and one was sentenced to one year of probation.
