A southwest Kansas driving school owner has been sentenced to eight months in prison for accepting money in exchange for passing grades and commercial driver's license certificates.
Fifty-eight-year-old Lyle Seitter of Liberal also must serve probation and pay restitution. Seitter has pleaded guilty to felony counts of commercial bribery and making a false writing and a misdemeanor count of unlawful use of a driver's license.
Kansas Department of Revenue agents arrested Seitter in December after an undercover operation. Authorities allege a fraudulent passing grade and certificate to bypass Kansas driver's license skills testing were obtained at Seitter's Liberal business, The Driving School.
