The Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office announced today that a former Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) employee and a second individual have been arraigned on charges stemming from an alleged bribery scheme involving expedited title and registration services.
Ashlee Jordan, 29, of Bridgewater, a former Title Clerk at the RMV’s Quincy headquarters, faces one count of Bribery, one count of Unwarranted Privilege, and one count of Conspiracy to Commit Title Fraud. Stanley Nazaire, 47, of Somerville, is charged with one count of Bribery and one count of Solicitation to Commit Bribery. Both were arraigned in Norfolk Superior Court on October 27, 2026, and released on personal recognizance.
According to the AGO’s investigation, Jordan allegedly misused her position to run an unauthorized private title and registration service. Prosecutors say she accepted personal payments to expedite transactions and give customers preferential treatment that ordinary members of the public could not obtain. The office alleges that her income from the scheme exceeded her legitimate salary as an RMV employee.
Jordan began working at the RMV in 2019 and handled a range of title-related transactions, including issuing duplicate titles, changing ownership, amending titles, and adding liens. The AGO says she exploited the severe delays that developed during the COVID-19 pandemic, when the Quincy RMV building closed to the public and processing times in some cases more than tripled.
Investigators allege that Jordan essentially operated a private “concierge” service: for a fee, she would allow customers to jump the line and have transactions processed overnight. She is also accused of accepting improper or incomplete paperwork and permitting customers to skip required steps, such as a salvage inspection before obtaining a reconstructed title. The investigation further found that she promoted her services at a car enthusiast’s social club while openly wearing her RMV lanyard.
Nazaire is alleged to have acted as an intermediary, approaching towing companies to promote Jordan’s services and soliciting them to pay her for faster titles. Prosecutors also claim that Nazaire himself paid Jordan private bribes to complete his own title transactions.
The case is being 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. That division investigates and prosecutes serious criminal misconduct involving public agencies, corrupt public employees, and crimes that undermine public confidence in government.
These are allegations only. Both defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court. The charges highlight ongoing concerns about public integrity at the RMV, an agency that has faced similar bribery and fraud cases in recent years involving licenses, road tests, and inspections.
