MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — A clerk for the Miami-Dade County Office of the Tax Collector was arrested Thursday after he issued multiple temporary driving permits to people in exchange for money, authorities said.
According to an arrest report from the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office, a supervisor at the tax collector’s office notified investigators about the illegal activity on March 25.
Deputies said surveillance video was reviewed which showed the clerk, Waldersee Oge, 46, of North Miami, issuing temporary driving permits last month to at least four people who were not present in the office.
In one incident, Oge was seen on video speaking on his cellphone with one of the customers, gathering their personal information and then inputting that information into the Orion database.
According to the report, the supervisor became suspicious last week after witnessing Oge reviewing scanned documents within the customers motor maintenance system using the Orion database despite there not being any customers at the service counter at the time.
Detectives said Oge was taken into custody at his workplace Thursday and confessed to conducting multiple transactions in exchange for payments via Zelle.
He faces numerous charges, including official misconduct by a public servant, unlawful compensation/reward for official behavior, offenses against computer users, unlawful use of a communications device, unlawful issuance of a driver’s license and falsifying public records.
As of Friday morning, Oge was being held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center. Online jail records listed his total bond as “to be set.”
