MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Five men accused of trying to falsely obtain Tennessee driver’s licenses were indicted by a federal grand jury on conspiracy charges Wednesday.
The men were arrested Feb. 5 along with state license examiner Katherine Smith, who died five days later in a car fire authorities believe was arson.
The men were charged with trying to produce identification documents “without lawful authority,” a violation of federal law. The offense is punishable by up to five years in prison.
