Florida Arrests 8 For License Fraud

Eight people — including two Florida DMV employees — were arrested for selling fraudulent driver’s licenses, including CDLs, to undocumented immigrants.

The Bay County Sheriff’s Office said the two employees, Bancelie Velazco and Demetrius Smith, issued licenses without testing in exchange for cash or Cash App payments. Authorities seized $120,000 from their homes.

The scheme allegedly ran for two years and involved intermediaries, including staff from CubaMax, an immigration service business in Callaway.
