The last of the driver's license fraud suspects - Sakher Hammad - was placed on two years' probation Monday and was sentenced to time served.

After the Jordanian naturalized citizen was arrested in February, Hammad, 25, of Brooklyn was held in prison for 51 days until he made bond.

The death of Katherine Smith, the Memphis driver's license examiner accused of being the inside source for the licenses, remains unsolved. She died in a fiery car crash the day before her first court appearance in February.
