Harold G. Stewart Sentenced

July 29, 2010

In a U.S District Court Room in Baton Rouge, on June 17, Harold G. Stewart was sentenced to 25 hours of community service, five years probation, and assessed a $500 fine on top of restitution in the amount of $7,316.03 to the La. Dept. of Public Safety for expenses the state incurred to recall and retest a number of drivers who obtained commercial driver’s licenses through Stewart.

Stewart, a third party examiner for Stewart Auto Sales and Savage in Zwolle, was authorized by the Dept. of Public Safety, Office of Motor Vehicles, to administer CDL tests for license candidates.

An investigation began following a LADPS-OMV compliance review where it was discovered that Stewart tested a large number of CDL candidates with no failure ratings, which was a fraud indicator.

He admitted to falsifying the skills test for 250 CDL candidates, for which he was paid $200 per test. The Office of Motor Vehicles recalled and retested all 320 CDL drivers.
