Tennessee teachers accused in test fraud

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Authorities in Tennessee are looking into whether a Memphis, Tennessee man took money from teachers who paid to have other people take their certification exams.

58-year-old Clarence Mumford faces a 45 count indictment. Prosecutors say he allegedly made tens of thousands of dollars from a scheme that operated between 1995 - 2010.  It involved teachers and aspiring teachers in Tennessee, Arkansas and Mississippi.

The alleged scam involved nearly 70 teachers.  Charging documents show Mumford charged teachers between $1,500 - $3,000 per exam.  Authorities with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigations say he allegedly collected teachers' IDs and made fake driver's licenses.
