Fox 13 Tampa Bay has more details:

According to officials, the Bay County Sheriff’s Office and Homeland Secuirty Invetigations (HSI) probe uncovered  two compromised DMV employees offering undocumented aliens driver’s licenses in exchange for money.

During the investigation, authorities discovered that two DMV employees were issuing an abnormally high number of driver’s licenses. Upon reviewing DMV surveillance footage, investigators confirmed that the individuals receiving these licenses were not completing the legally required tests. Instead, they were circumventing the process and traveling from across Florida to Bay County to obtain their licenses.

The probe also revealed that the individuals seeking these licenses were connected through a third-party intermediary. These intermediaries facilitated the transactions, with payments being made to  Bancelie Velazco and Demetrius Smith, II, either directly at the DMV or through a cash app.

The individuals arrested include Bancelie Velazco, Demetrius Smith II, Niurbis Rosales, Leonardo Gutierrez, Hung Du, Isbrieta Parra, Zoila Gonzalez-Pena, and Mirna Fernandez.

Charges include DMV employee issue unlawful driver’s license, official misconduct, and unlawful possession of a driver’s license, officials said.

Something tells me these illegals weren’t only getting these licenses to appear like a legal driver…

Guess what a lot of people do when they get drivers licenses?

Yeah…

I can’t help but wonder just how often this happens in our nation.

If this is in FL, just imagine what they get to do in states like CA??
