IC 4-2-7-2(b). The OIG also investigates criminal activity and ethics violations by state workers. IC 4-2-7-3. The OIG may recommend policies and carry out other activities designed to deter, detect, and eradicate fraud, waste, abuse, mismanagement, and misconduct in state government. IC 4-2- 7-3(2).

OIG Special Agent Mark Mitchell conducted an investigation into this matter. Through the course of his investigation, Special Agent Mitchell interviewed Pringle and reviewed documentation received from BMV, including their internal investigation report on this matter.

  • GGD-84-6 Forgery of U.S. Treasury Checks--Federal Misdemeanor Law
    * BY THE COMPTROiLER GENERAL Report To The Congress OF THE UNITEDSTATES Forgery Of U.S. Treasury Checks- Federal Misdemeanor Law Needed F’ rging of payee signatures on U.S. Treas- u Py checks is increasing. Under Federal law fc/rgery is a major crime (felony) and is pun- is(hable by up to 10 years’ imprisonment. pi lthough offenders include members of o ganized criminal groups, the majority of F deral forgery cases involve a first-time o fender and a small amount of money. For c ses involving offenders in the latter cate- ory, there is no Federal statute that autho- r zes the prosecution of a forgery case as a inor offense (misdemeanor) and the fel- ny penalty is often considered too severe. onsequently, some forgery suspects are ot prosecuted. Federal prosecutors state t at a misdemeanor check forgery statute ould provide a realistic alternative to dec- 1I ning to prosecute a minor forgery offense r prosecuting it under a felony statute. 9 bA0 recommends that forgery of a Treasury #heck under certain circumstances, such as first-time offender forging a check of nom- nal value, be subject to prosecution as a i isdemeanor.

Overview II. Burglary: How to Avoid an Aggravated Felony and CIMT III. Theft: How to Avoid an Aggravated Felony and CIMT IV. Fraud or Deceit: How to Avoid an Aggravated Felony V. Review: When Does a CIMT Conviction Cause Inadmissibility or Deportability App. 13-1 Legal Summaries to Hand to Defendants I. OVERVIEW Burglary, theft and fraud convictions have two potential immigration consequences. They could constitute an aggravated felony conviction, in the categories of burglary, theft, or a crime of violence with a year’s sentence imposed, or fraud with a loss to the victim/s exceeding $10,000.1 In addition they can and frequently do constitute a conviction of a crime involving moral turpitude (“CIMT”).2 Including in felony cases, an informed criminal defender often can avoid conviction of an aggravated felony, the more serious immigration penalty, and sometimes can avoid a CIMT. A single offense has the potential to come within multiple adverse immigration categories, e.g. be an aggravated felony as burglary and as attempted theft. Check the offense against all immigration categories in this Note. The main defense strategies to avoid an aggravated felony in this area are: To avoid an aggravated felony for burglary or theft offenses, avoid a sentence imposed of one year or more on any single count.
