TRENTON – Attorney General Paula T. Dow and Criminal Justice Director Stephen J. Taylor announced that a former administrative assistant for the New Jersey Juvenile Justice Commission was sentenced to state prison today for submitting false time sheets in order to collect more than $10,000 in overtime pay for hours she did not work.

According to Director Taylor, Cindy K. Franks, 50, of Morrisville, Pa., was sentenced to three years in state prison by Superior Court Judge Robert C. Billmeier in Mercer County. Franks pleaded guilty on March 5 to an accusation charging her with second-degree official misconduct.

Franks must pay $10,313 in restitution to the Juvenile Justice Commission under the plea agreement. She will be permanently barred from public employment in New Jersey.

Deputy Attorney General Thomas R. Clark prosecuted the case for the Division of Criminal Justice Corruption Bureau and represented the state at the sentencing. The case was investigated by Sgt. David Salzmann and Lt. Stanley Beet Jr. of the Division of Criminal Justice.

In pleading guilty, Franks admitted that between September 2005 and April 2007, she submitted time sheets that contained false information about overtime hours that she worked on a special project that was assigned to her at the Juvenile Justice Commission.

Franks admitted that she falsely reported working various periods of overtime that she did not actually work, and obtained payment for that time of $10,313 to which she was not entitled.
