S. District Judge Jay C. Zainey, announced U. S. Attorney Jim Letten. According to court documents, approximately five years ago, David “Doc” Williams and ALFRED MILLER entered into an agreement whereby MILLER would accept cash bribes from friends and colleagues charged with Traffic Court violations which MILLER would split with Williams in exchange for Williams using his position as Clerk in Section B at New Orleans Traffic Court to dismiss the pending violations.

In exchange, MILLER paid Williams approximately $100.00 for having the case dismissed. As part of his plea agreement, MILLER will provide truthful cooperation and testimony for the United States.
