(Memphis) A Memphis man admits to taking certification tests for Mid-South teachers in exchange for cash.

Jeryl Shaw pleaded guilty in Federal Court on Friday.

Shaw told a judge he took three tests for others about two years ago.

He has never been a teacher.

Five have now pleaded guilty to the charges.
