From 2005 until 2008, Billy Louis Nelms Sr, 54, worked as a federal officer in a Fraud Detection and National Security unit in Santa Ana, California, during which time he accepted bribes of up to $5,000 in cash from Cambodians looking for permanent legal status in the United States, according to the indictment.
