Two employees of the [Connecticut] state Department of Motor Vehicles
are accused of conspiring to sell car registration information to a New
York dealer.

Jason Rodriguez, 36, and Omayra Vargas, 35, both of Hartford, were
arrested this week and charged with conspiracy to receive a bribe and
committing a computer crime, police said.

Rodriguez and Vargas, who both worked in the DMV's office in
Wethersfield, allegedly conspired to accept a bribe from the dealer in
return for giving him details about certain older, potentially valuable
cars owned by Connecticut residents, police said.

That dealer, 43-year-old Robert Russo of Commack, N.Y., was arrested in
May on bribery charges in connection with the alleged incident, police
said.
