A Chinese immigrant wanted for fraud in New York State is being held in detention in Marshall County.

The Marshall County Sheriff’s office arrested Xu Feng, who was working at Chow King in Albertville, on July 18.

“He’s still in our jail waiting for extradition, said Willy Orr, Chief Deputy with for sheriff. “He’ll be extradited to New York as soon as all the arrangements are finished.”

Feng is wanted as a part of a DMV fraud scheme in New York to give permits and licenses to people who hadn’t passed a test.

Most of the applicants were Chinese immigrants, according to a statement by the New York Offices of the Inspector General on July 2.

“We will hold accountable anyone who abuses their public office, circumvents the law or undermines the systems that millions of Americans rely on in good faith.” said District Attorney Michael E. McMahon about a 139-count indictment against employees of T&E driving school in Queens.

The school was charging $1,600 for a permit and $2,000 for a license to mostly non-English speaking clients, the statement said.

DMV workers were paid for helping with the scheme.

Most defendants in the case face a 2-to-7-year prison sentence if convicted.
