AG's Office Charges Former RMV Employee, Second Individual In Bribery Scheme To Expedite Services
Published October 28, 2026
BOSTON — The Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office (AGO) today announced that Ashlee Jordan, 29, of Bridgewater, a former Title Clerk at the Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV), and Stanley Nazaire, 47, of Somerville, have been arraigned on charges related to an alleged bribery scheme in which Jordan accepted personal payments in exchange for providing expedited RMV services and allowing customers to bypass standard requirements.
Jordan is charged with one count of Bribery, one count of Unwarranted Privilege, and one count of Conspiracy to Commit Title Fraud. She was arraigned in Norfolk Superior Court on October 27, 2026, and was released on personal recognizance.
Nazaire is charged with one count of Bribery and one count of Solicitation to Commit Bribery. He was arraigned in Norfolk Superior Court on October 27, 2026, and was released on personal recognizance.
According to the AGO’s investigation, Jordan allegedly misused her position as a Title Clerk at the RMV’s Quincy headquarters to operate an unauthorized, private title and registration service, accepting personal payments to expedite transactions and provide preferential treatment to customers. The AGO alleges that Jordan’s income from this bribery scheme exceeded her legitimate income as a salaried RMV employee.
Jordan began working at the RMV in 2019. She was responsible for a wide range of transactions, including issuing duplicate titles, changing ownership, amending and correcting titles, and adding liens. During the COVID-19 pandemic, it became substantially more difficult for the public to complete transactions at the RMV, as the Quincy RMV building closed to the public and processing times increased more than threefold in some cases.
The AGO alleges that Jordan exploited these delays and misused her position to operate what essentially amounted to a private concierge title and registration service, taking personal payments to complete customers’ RMV transactions at a speed that was not available to ordinary citizens. According to the AGO, Jordan would, for a fee, allow customers to jump the line and have their transactions processed overnight. She would also accept improper or incomplete paperwork and would permit customers to skip key steps, such as a required salvage inspection prior to obtaining a reconstructed title. The investigation also found that Jordan promoted her services at a car enthusiast’s social club, while openly wearing her RMV lanyard.
The AGO further alleges that Nazaire acted as an intermediary in the scheme, approaching towing companies to promote Jordan’s services and personally soliciting them to pay her for faster titles. The AGO also alleges that Nazaire himself paid Jordan private bribes to complete his title transactions.
This matter was handled by Assistant Attorney General Mindy Klenoff and Assistant Attorney General Jesse Coulon of the AGO’s White Collar and Public Integrity Division with assistance from The Massachusetts State Police.
The White Collar and Public Integrity Division investigates and prosecutes serious criminal misconduct involving crimes against public agencies, corrupt public employees and public entities, crimes that have a harmful effect on public confidence in our government and other trusted institutions, and financial crimes.
