\"EnvironmentalA federal grand jury today returned a 44-count indictment that charges nine defendants with “clean piping” more than 3,000 vehicles to beat the state’s\u00a0Smog Check Program,\u00a0<\/strong>according to authorities<\/span><\/p>\n

They allegedly violated the\u00a0Clean Air Act by conducting hundreds of fraudulent smog check inspections that falsely certified vehicles had passed emissions tests when different cars and trucks had actually been tested, officials said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"u.s.DISTRICTAuthorities allege that the\u00a0defendants entered vehicle identification information into the smog testing equipment, known as the Emissions Inspection System, to make it appear that a particular vehicle was being tested.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then they switched to a “substitute vehicle” to perform the emissions test and get a passing result.<\/span><\/p>\n

This process of \u201cclean piping\u201d was allegedly used to conduct more than 1,300 fraudulent smog checks at Smogz R Us, and nearly all of the vehicles supposedly being tested were not even at the testing station.<\/span><\/p>\n

The indictment, which was filed Tuesday in federal court, focuses on Smogz R Us, a shop that operated on West 54th Street in South Los Angeles. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEnvironmental protection programs, such as California\u2019s smog check program, are designed to protect our health and safety,\u201d said U.S. Attorney Eileen M. Decker<\/strong>. \u201cThe operator and employees of this smog check facility \u2013 one of many on the front lines of limiting air pollution \u2013 willfully circumvented testing procedures and allowed as many as 1,300 hundred cars and trucks to emit harmful levels of pollutants.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The federal Clean Air Act gives primary responsibility for meeting \u201cambient air quality\u201d standards for pollutants such as ozone, lead, sulfur dioxide and carbon monoxide to the states. <\/span><\/p>\n

As part of California\u2019s plan to meet these air quality standards, the state\u2019s Bureau of Automotive Repair oversees a vehicle inspection program that requires many vehicles in the state \u2013 and in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, where ozone pollution is particularly severe \u2013 to undergo an emissions test commonly called a smog check, according to authorities.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Clean Air Act prohibits a person from knowingly making false statements and certifications in relation to programs mandated under the Clean Air Act, which includes the California smog check program, officials said.<\/span><\/p>\n

The indictment alleged that the nine defendants engaged in a form of fraudulent smog testing known as \u201cclean piping.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

According to the indictment, once the bogus tests were completed, the defendants caused fraudulent Certificates of Compliance to be submitted to California\u2019s Vehicle Information Database, falsely certifying that vehicles passed the smog checks when they were never tested.<\/span><\/p>\n

The defendants named in the indictment are the following people:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Jermaine Elroy Williams<\/strong>, also known as \u201cAria,\u201d 32, of Woodland Hills, who allegedly conducted fraudulent smog inspections at Smogz R Us after his license had been revoked and a Los Angeles Superior Court judge in a criminal case ordered Williams not to have any employment related to smog checks<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Cheerline May Young<\/strong>, also known as Cheerline Williams, 52, of Athens, who is the mother of Jermaine Williams and was the owner and operator of Smogz R Us<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Mario Mesa<\/strong>, 47, of Bell Gardens, a licensed smog check technician who allegedly conducted fraudulent smog check inspections at Smogz R Us<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Jaime Patrick Alvarez<\/strong>, 55, of Baldwin Park, another licensed smog check technician who allegedly conducted fraudulent smog checks<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Darnell Tyrone Usher<\/strong>, also known as \u201cWho Knew,\u201d 26, of South Los Angeles, who along with Williams was previously ordered by a Los Angeles Superior Court judge not to be employed in the smog or emissions industry<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Lavell Fay Davenport<\/strong>, also known as \u201cPrecept,\u201d 54, of South Los Angeles, who allegedly conducted fraudulent smog inspections<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Miguel Angel Espinoza<\/strong>, 67, of Maywood, who allegedly facilitated and assisted in fraudulent smog checks<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Mark Anthony Young<\/strong>, 23, of Woodland Hills, who is the son of Cheerline May Young and allegedly facilitated and assisted in fraudulent smog checks<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Cheerline Marie \u201cCici\u201d Young<\/strong>, 26, of South Los Angeles, who is the daughter of Cheerline May Young and who also allegedly conducted fraudulent smog inspections.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The Environmental Protection Agency<\/strong> or EPA investigated this case.<\/span><\/p>\n
