Missouri man gets prison in trucking school case

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. | A former tester at a Missouri truck-driving school will go to prison for his part in a conspiracy to provide fraudulent licenses to Somali and Bosnian nationals.

U.S. District Judge Gary Fenner on Monday imposed a one-year sentence on 66-year-old Orbin Dale May of West Plains.

May pleaded guilty last year to participating in a mail fraud conspiracy from April 2003 to February 2006.

May was a tester at the now-defunct South Central Career Center Truck Driver Training School in West Plains.

He admitted receiving extra pay for giving incomplete or inadequate tests for commercial driver’s licenses and falsely certifying that applicants had passed.  From KansasCity.com
