Derrious Dillon also received 12 months’ supervised release, a $1,500 partial fine and a special assessment of $100. He pleaded guilty to aggravated identity theft in January.
Dillon worked for a company that provided training and certification to individuals seeking CDLs. When his employment was terminated in 2014, he obtained a list of CDL instructors authorized in the state of Mississippi, along with their identification numbers, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation Office of Inspector General (DOT-OIG), which said Dillon used that information to prepare fraudulent paperwork, which he gave to individuals seeking to obtain CDLs in exchange for $200 to $400. The individuals presented the fraudulent paperwork to the Mississippi Department of Public Safety to secure CDLs.
A review of the paperwork showed that some applicants could not have achieved the results listed. Some CDL holders admitted that they never took the test, DOT-OIG said.
