An active Massachusetts State Police sergeant and an active trooper as well as two retired troopers and two civilians were arrested as part of a 74-count indictment alleging that they traded favors in exchange for unearned commercial drivers licenses.

“As alleged in this indictment, the CDLs were for sale and troopers were bribed with free goods to pass applicants no matter how they performed on the test,” Acting U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts Joshua Levy said at a press conference Tuesday announcing that morning’s indictment.
