TRENTON – Acting Attorney
General Paula T. Dow and Criminal Justice
Director Stephen J. Taylor announced that
a Camden County woman, who was employed
to process tax amnesty claims, was sentenced
today for stealing $20,000 intended for
the Division of Taxation.
Sharee Ivory, 31, of Camden,
was sentenced to three years probation by
Superior Court Judge Irvin J. Snyder in
Camden County. The sentence was based on
Ivory’s Oct. 26 guilty plea to theft
by unlawful taking or disposition and forgery.
The charges were contained in an Aug. 5
state grand jury indictment.
Ivory was a clerk employed
by Pioneer Collection Agency, a private
company that contracted with the New Jersey
Division of Taxation to administer the New
Jersey Tax Amnesty program.
In pleading guilty, Ivory
admitted that in June 2009, she obtained
a $20,000 check made payable to the Division
of Taxation, modified it to be made payable
to herself, and deposited the check into
her personal bank account.
Detective Myles Cappiello
of the New Jersey State Police and Deputy
Attorneys General Richard Queen and Erik
Daab coordinated the investigation. Queen
represented the Division of Criminal Justice
at the sentencing.
