IOWA CITY, Iowa – An Iowa parent recently busted a local driving instructor for identity fraud after the man allegedly used an alias to continue teaching despite a 2012 conviction that prohibits him from instructing minors, officials confirmed.     

Iowa mother Jean Feller snapped this shot of Bindner instructing young students, despite an agreement prohibiting him from teaching minors.

Frederick Bindner is prohibited from teaching minors until 2015 as part of an agreement with the Iowa Board of Educational Examiners signed in April as the result of a 2012 conviction for supplying alcohol to underage youth, the Des Moines Register reports.

According a Huffington Post report on the underage drinking incident, “Iowa police say that a 62-year-old driving teacher gave wine to a 14- and 16-year-old girl and then let them get behind the wheel during a recent lesson.

“Frederick Bindner allegedly offered booze to a third underage girl in an Olive Garden restaurant in Coralville on June 27, (2011) but she declined the offer and later told her father about the mix of tipping and driving.”

Bindner, however, allegedly stole the identity of Rick Peas, a driving instructor from Union, Iowa to continue teaching until he was confronted by Oxford parent Jean Feller, whose 15-year-old son was in Bindner’s drivers education class this summer.

Feller’s oldest son had taken drivers training with Bindner years earlier, and the mother recognized the man. Feller researched Bindner’s background and learned he was prohibited from teaching minors. She then confronted the driving instructor, who had driven multiple times with her younger son at Open Road Driving School in June, the news site reports.

Bindner allegedly begged the mother not to expose his scheme, but “Feller said she declined to keep quiet because of her concerns about child safety and began speaking with parents,” according to the Register.

The news eventually got around, and the driving school sent Feller a cease and desist letter from its attorney warning her to drop the accusations.

“I can assure you that it is not my client’s desire to pursue legal action against you but if you continue to leave them no choice we will pursue every legal resolution available to put an end to your inappropriate and slanderous behavior,” the letter read, the Register reports.

So the mother took her complaints to local law enforcement officials, as well as the state’s transportation and education departments. The state’s transportation department launched an investigation and concluded that she was right. “Mr. Frederick Donald Bindner purported to be an Iowa certified driver education instructor using the false name of Richard Speas,” investigator Chris Leeman told the Register in a statement.

Police searched Bindner’s home and confiscated payroll printouts, a work history ledger, a laptop, as well as a legal pad with “Rick Speas” scrawled on it, according to the news site.

The investigation is ongoing, though Bindner continues to teach adult driving students.
