Illegal Driver License Sales Under Probe
Arkansas Revenue Department officials said investigators found a buyer who shifted purchases from Hot Springs to Van Buren to save money on licenses. Licenses were bought for $10 in Van Buren and Hot Springs, with prices rising to $12 to $15 at Hot Springs, while the standard fee is $2. A cashier noted in Geteber that licenses were often mailed from Arkansas, and the suspect claimed up to 36 licenses were purchased this year. He described a scheme where a transportation boss indicated who could obtain licenses, and where a Hot Springs supplier and a Van Buren source paid $15 per license before the price hike. The Revenue Commission stressed that current or former state employees in Hot Springs, Van Buren, and Walnut Ridge were not implicated in the illicit activity.
