Immigration employee charged with uttering forged documents fined $3,600
An immigration employee who gave a Canadian man seeking permanent residency fake documents was convicted and fined.
Dexter Donald Frazier, 46, was fined $3,600 after pleading guilty to two counts of uttering forged documents late Tuesday.
Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson-Pratt told Frazier that he would spend 12 months in prison if he didn’t pay the fine.
Additionally, Frazier was placed on probation for 12 months. A probation breach will also result in a 12-month sentence.
His conviction came as Immigration Minister Elsworth Johnson said that he was concerned about the immigration department.
Frazier, a driver at the department, was arrested after Raymond Bubel made a complaint to police.
