A Georgia woman was sentenced to 8 years in prison for her role in a scheme to illegally obtain Louisiana titles for stolen vehicles.
Quinetta Grant, 45, of Suwanee, Georgia, was sentenced Tuesday by U.S. District Judge S. Maurice Hicks Jr. on one count of mail fraud. She was also sentenced to three years of supervised release and was ordered to pay $300,000 restitution.
According to the October 25, 2016 guilty plea, Grant sent a title application and supporting documents for a stolen vehicle in May of 2015 to a resident in Monroe who then submitted the documents to an Office of Motor Vehicles authorized automobile title processor in West Monroe, Louisiana.
The title processor was a private business contracted to work with the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles to process title applications.
The FBI conducted the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Earl M. Campbell prosecuted the case. Grant’s scheme was uncovered and she was held accountable for her actions.
The case serves as a reminder that those who engage in schemes to defraud and steal from the public will be caught and punished.
Grant’s 96-month prison sentence is a significant blow to her and a message to those who would engage in similar behavior.
The people of Louisiana can rest a little easier knowing that justice has been served in this case.
