A former Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) clerk was sentenced today in federal court in Boston for her role in a scheme to produce false identification documents.

Annette Gracia, 37, of Boston, was sentenced to one year and one day in prison and two years of supervised release. In October 2017, Gracia and co-conspirators Evelyn Medina, 56, of Boston; Kimberly Jordan, 33, of Randolph; David Brimage, 46, of Boston; and Bivian Yohanny Brea, 41, of Boston, agreed to plead guilty to one count of producing without lawful authority an identification document or a false identification document. In December 2017, Angel Miguel Beltre Tejada, 32, a Dominican national illegally residing in Jamaica Plain, was sentenced to two years in prison after pleading guilty to one count of aggravated identity theft. Tejada will be subject to deportation proceedings upon completion of any sentence imposed.

In October 2015, law enforcement received an anonymous letter alleging that a corrupt RMV employee was providing Massachusetts identifications and drivers’ licenses to individuals who were using false identifications. An investigation revealed that several Haymarket RMV clerks – Medina, Gracia, Jordan, and Brimage – were working with Brea and Tejada to fraudulently provide Massachusetts licenses and identification cards to illegal aliens for cash.

The scheme involved several steps. Tejada and Brea would obtain identification documents belonging to United States citizens in Puerto Rico and sell them to clients who were seeking legitimate identities in Massachusetts. These clients included illegal aliens, individuals who were previously deported, and an individual who admitted to previously facing drug charges. Tejada would receive several hundred dollars in cash each time he sold identification documents. Brea received up to $2,700 per identity for her role in the scheme, which included helping clients obtain the documents and facilitating their acquisition of Massachusetts identity documents.

Typically, Brea and the client brought the stolen identities to the Haymarket RMV, where Medina, Gracia, Jordan, and/or Brimage would accept hundreds of dollars in cash to illegally issue authentic RMV documents, including Massachusetts licenses and ID cards. The clerks also accepted bribes to use the RMV’s system to run queries, including Social Security number audits, to confirm that the identities the clients were stealing actually belonged to verifiable individuals.

On Jan. 17, 2018, Medina was sentenced to 15 months in prison and two years of supervised release.

Five individuals have agreed to plead guilty in federal court in Boston for their roles in a scheme to produce false identification documents through the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV).

Evelyn Medina, 56, of Boston; Annette Gracia, 37, of Boston; Kimberly Jordan, 33, of Randolph; David Brimage, 46, of Boston; and Bivian Yohanny Brea, 41, of Boston, have agreed to plead guilty to one count of producing without lawful authority an identification document or a false identification document. At the time of their arrest, Medina, Gracia, Jordan, and Brimage were all employed as clerks at the Haymarket Registry of Motor Vehicles.

Angel Miguel Beltre Tejada, 32, a Dominican national illegally residing in Jamaica Plain, was charged in an Information with one count of aggravated identity theft. The defendants were arrested in August 2017.

In October 2015, law enforcement received an anonymous letter alleging that a corrupt RMV employee was providing Massachusetts identifications and drivers’ licenses to individuals who were using false identifications. An investigation revealed that several Haymarket RMV clerks – Medina, Gracia, Jordan, and Brimage – were working with Brea and Tejeda to fraudulently provide Massachusetts licenses and identification cards to illegal aliens for cash.

The scheme involved several steps. Tejeda and Brea would obtain identification documents belonging to United States citizens in Puerto Rico and sell them to clients who were seeking legitimate identities in Massachusetts. These clients included illegal aliens, individuals who were previously deported, and an individual who admitted to previously facing drug charges. Tejeda would receive several hundred dollars in cash each time he sold identification documents.

The clerks also accepted bribes to use the RMV’s system to run queries, including Social Security number audits, to confirm that the identities the clients were stealing actually belonged to verifiable individuals.

If the Court accepts the binding plea agreements for the clerks, Medina will be sentenced to 15 months in prison; Gracia to one year and one day in prison; Jordan to eight months in prison; and Brimage to eight months in prison. They all face two years of supervised release. Brea, who has entered a non-binding plea agreement, faces a sentence of no greater than 15 years in prison, three years of supervised release and a fine of $250,000. The charge of aggravated identity theft for which Tejeda is charged provides for a mandatory minimum of two years in prison. Tejada will also be subject to deportation proceedings upon completion of any sentence imposed. Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based upon the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

From the U.S. Attorney’s Office – District of Massachusetts:

Six individuals, including four RMV clerks, were arrested today in connection with a scheme to produce false identification documents through the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles. Some of the false identities and addresses were used to fraudulently register to vote in the City of Boston.

Evelyn Medina, 56, of Boston; Annette Gracia, 37, of Boston; Kimberly Jordan, 33, of Randolph; David Brimage, 46, of Boston; Bivian Yohanny Brea, 41, of Boston; and John Doe, a/k/a Flako, a/k/a Miguel, a/k/a Pablo D. Gonzalez Lopez, a/k/a Rafael R. Bonano, 32, whose identity and nationality has yet to be determined, were charged today in federal court in Boston with aggravated identity theft. The defendants are expected to appear in federal court this afternoon.

At the time of their arrest, Medina, Gracia, Jordan, and Brimage were employed as clerks at the Haymarket Registry of Motor Vehicles. Brea and Flako conspired with the RMV clerks to operate the scheme.

In October 2015, the Massachusetts State Police received an anonymous letter alleging that a corrupt RMV employee was providing stolen identifications and drivers’ licenses to individuals seeking false identifications. An investigation revealed that several Haymarket RMV clerks – Medina, Gracia, Jordan, and Brimage – were allegedly working with Brea, who acted as the document vendor, and Flako, who acted as the document dealer, to provide licenses and identification cards to illegal aliens for cash.

The scheme involved several steps. First, it is alleged that Flako, the document dealer, sold a Puerto Rican birth certificate and U.S. Social Security card to Brea, the document vendor, for approximately $900. Brea, in turn, sold the stolen identities for over $2,000 to clients seeking legitimate identities in Massachusetts. These clients included illegal aliens, individuals who were previously deported, and an individual who admitted to previously facing drug charges.

After Flako sold Brea the false identification papers, Brea typically used the counterfeit documents and false identities and addresses to fraudulently register the clients to vote in the City of Boston. Then, Brea and the client brought the stolen identities to the Haymarket RMV, where Medina, Gracia, Jordan, and/or Brimage would accept cash to illegally issue authentic RMV documents, including Massachusetts licenses and ID cards. The clerks also accepted cash to use the RMV’s system to run queries, including Social Security number audits, to confirm that the identities the clients were stealing actually belonged to verifiable individuals.

The charge of aggravated identity theft provides for a mandatory minimum of two years in prison. Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based upon the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

Getting our hair (or beard for you men) cut, trimmed or styled is taken very seriously in this day and age. How many of us have had a stylist not do what we asked and been stuck with something horrendous for the next few weeks, even months? Heck, having a bad day is called “having a bad hair day”!

We want someone who does what we ask, is experienced and excels at taking care of hair and offers it at an affordable rate that we can do it regularly before our hair gets out of control.

Problem is that there are a LOT of barber shops and hair salons in the city. A dizzying, astounding amount of them. How do we choose with so many options? One does not simply walk into a random shop and ask someone they don’t know or know about to cut one’s hair. That’s crazy talk.

Word of mouth is a great place to start. Social media excels in this area – we get to read comments, reviews and testimonials. Best selling point of all are the photostreams – images that show what the stylists are capable of and whether they pay attention to detail and have the ability to nail those details. An abomination of a haircut or inability to do the basic things isn’t something you can hide in a photograph.

To help you out, we’re going to let you know about the newest shop to open its doors 6 months ago: Panthers Barber Shop & Salon at 633 Brock Avenue in New Bedford. While the shop is new, the owner Victor Reyes, and barbershop manager Jimmy Correa, along with salon manager Altagracia Duran have been “at it” for years. Victor has been cutting hair for 12 years, Altagracia 15 years and been owner of three different salons – a veteran in the industry.

The staff, like barbers Hector Irizarry, David Lasanta and stylist Roquelina Tavares are all licensed and each have more than 10 years of experience. None are new to the game.

The primary objective that everyone agrees on at Panthers is that they have a desire to provide the go-to unisex hair-styling service in the city, especially accommodating the South End. Even though the team understands that there is a lot of competition in the city and people can easily enough go to another spot, it’s irrelevant to Victor and his staff because the service they provide would be the same high, exacting standard if they were the only shop or salon in the city. It’s what they would expect of their own barber or stylist.

The warmth you feel the second you walk into the door is genuine – they are just good, down to earth people. You can tell it’s just who they are and Victor clearly cherry-picked his managers, barber, and stylists for this trait. There are also a number of little extras: everyone at Panthers speaks Spanish, free WiFi, there’s cable piping through the televisions, all the equipment is modern, and the spot was chosen for its ample parking.

Victor’s love and passion developed out of a lack of resources growing up – he simply couldn’t afford it. He began to take care of his own hair and found out that he thoroughly enjoyed it. So much so, that he leaped at the chance to take care of his friends and family. When their response and feedback was an overwhelming positive and they told him he should open his own shop, he decided to make a career out of it. Luckily for the city’s residents!

The irony and coincidence behind Victor’s story is a fascinating one: apparently this was in his “genes.” Only two months ago he found out that his grandfather and great-grandfather before him were both barbers by trade.

So, if you are unhappy with your current salon or barber and in dire need of some attention consider stopping in to Panthers Barbershop & Salon and watch how you are received. Check out the reviews, testimonials and comments. If you need a little more incentive, every Wednesday they have a special which consist of $10 cuts at the barbershop and $20 wash and dry at the salon.

Panthers Barbershop & Salon has a warm, friendly crew and the atmosphere that they have managed to produce is like hanging out with the best of friends – only difference is that these friends are professionals and seriously talented.

To paraphrase a famous line: “Let them know that Joe sent ya!”
