A former Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration employee pleaded guilty on Sept. 7 to a conspiracy to produce and sell counterfeit Maryland driver’s licenses, some of which were for illegal immigrants.

Riverdale resident Michael Anthony Peters, 29, admitted to accepting bribes of $300 and $400 for producing illegal noncommercial and commercial driver’s licenses between July and October 2007 while working at the Largo MVA.
