Man paid two D.C. police employees $40,000 in bribes for crash reports
A Washington-area man pleaded guilty to one count of felony bribery Wednesday, admitting he paid more than $40,000 to two D.C. police employees to obtain confidential information from traffic crash reports after police restricted the release of such reports in 2015.
Marvin Parker, 60, faces a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison. In a plea agreement with the U.S. attorneys office for the District of Columbia, prosecutors and the defendant agreed on a sentence recommendation of 24 to 30 months.
Parker entered his plea before U.S. Magistrate Judge Deborah A. Robinson. No sentencing date was set, Parker has not been detained, and plea papers include no mention of any cooperation agreement.
Parker is the owner of RPM Associates, prosecutors said, a consulting firm that Maryland state business records show registered in Silver Spring. His attorney, Damon Colbert, declined to comment.
