A Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles employee and her associate were recently given a year probation for participating in a scheme to fraudulently issue drivers licenses.

According to the Delaware Department of Justice, Danielle Haldeman, 29, of Greenwood, who worked at the DMV in Georgetown, accepted bribes from 44-year-old Michelet Pouloute, of Dover, for about two-and-a-half months in 2017.

Pouloute, who served as an interpreter for non-English speaking immigrants, would give Haldeman cash, prosecutors said. Haldeman then provided the licenses, despite the recipients not having proper documentation or testing.

Haldeman pleaded guilty to one count of receiving a bribe and one count of misdemeanor official misconduct, while Pouloute pleaded guilty to one count of felony bribery. Both were given a year probation.

All 41 of the licenses have been canceled and returned to the DMV.
