| LOUISIANA STATE POLICE COURTESY LOYALTY SERVICE Colonel Michael D. Edmonson, Superintendent HEADQUARTERS- NEWS RELEASE Office of Motor Vehicles Employee Arrested for Malfeasance PLAQUEMINE- Today, March 11, 2009, Louisiana State Police detectives arrested an Office of Motor Vehicles manager at the Plaquemines office after an investigation revealed the employee had been involved in fraudulent activities while in her position as office manager. State Police detectives received information last week that Stacy Pierce (W/F, 39 years old) was issuing fraudulent drivers licenses and rendering services to acquaintances without collecting fees associated with services provide by the Office of Motor Vehicles. Pierce also allegedly wrote two personal checks to the Department totaling $ 500.00 to replace money she had previously borrowed from department finances. Pierce’s bank later returned the checks unpaid due to insufficient funds. Pierce was arrested and booked into the Iberville Parish Detention Center on two counts each, for the charges of Malfeasance in Office, Injuring Public Records, and Issuing Worthless Checks. “The Office of Motor Vehicles has strict policies prohibiting this type of activity,” said OMV Commissioner Kay Hodges. “We have a zero tolerance for employees engaging in any improper conduct that violates the public’s trust and compromises the integrity of this department.” For more information contact: Sgt.
