Louisiana licensing officials plead guilty in bribery scheme All six defendants involved in a bribery scheme that enabled more than 100 people to fraudulently obtain commercial driver’s licenses have now pleaded guilty, announced U.S. Attorney David I. Courcelle.

Jenay Davis pleaded guilty on Sept. 2 and Christopher Bryan Burns and Shakera Millien pleaded guilty on Sept. 9.

The other defendants -- Mahmoud Alhattab, Jonathan Parsons, and Marline Roberts -- pleaded guilty on July 29.

As reported following the first three guilty pleas, Alhattab admitted to being the ringleader of the scheme in which CDL applicants each paid him on average roughly $5,000 to receive unearned CDLs.

The new WY22 SAFE PASS program is aimed at improving driver awareness of the challenges of mountain pass driving.
