DPS workers, man charged in driver's license scam
HOUSTON
The U.S. Attorney's Office says an indictment unsealed Tuesday
accuses 39-year-old DPS trooper Mark DaArza of Houston and
37-year-old clerk Lidia Gutierrez of nearby Galena Park of
processing applicants without proper documentation.
The indictment alleges 46-year-old store manager Maen Bittar of
Houston collected $3,000 or more from each applicant before sending
them to the DPS office, then delivered the licenses later.
All three have been released on $50,000 bond each. Information
on attorneys for the defendants wasn't immediately available.
