A woman working at the D.C. Department of Motor Vehicles has pleaded guilty to a bribery charge stemming from the sale of driver's licenses to people who did not qualify for them.
Thirty-nine-year-old Patricia Gonzalez of Takoma Park, Md., admitted issuing about 200 driver's licenses to immigrants who were either ineligible for licenses or had not met the requirements.
According to prosecutors, Gonzalez received $500 to $1,000 for each license. She is to be sentenced August 14.
Prosecutors say the illegal transactions spanned more than two years. Gonzalez was arrested in January.
