Former DMV worker sentenced to 366 days in ID scam
OAKLAND -- A former state Department of Motor Vehicles employee tearfully apologized in a federal courtroom in Oakland today before being sentenced to a year and a day in prison for her role in a scheme in which DMV workers accepted cash bribes for providing bogus identification documents to illegal immigrants.
Marla Robinson, 25, of Oakland pleaded with U.S. District Judge D. Lowell Jensen not to send her to prison on the grounds that her two children, ages 2 and 7, need her.
"I just want to say I'm very, very sorry," Robinson said through sobs during the hearing in Oakland.
"I had no idea of the seriousness of what I was doing when I was doing it," Robinson said. "Nothing like that will happen again. My kids need me. I'm all they have. They're all I have. I just don't know what they're going to do without me."
