A former employee at Pioneer Collection Agency received three years probation for stealing a $20,000 check intended for the New Jersey Division of Taxation.
The employee was helping process tax amnesty claims when she took the check in June 2009, modified it and deposited it into her personal bank account. Pioneer had a contract to administer a tax amnesty program for the state of New Jersey.
The employee entered a guilty plea last October to charges, contained in a grand jury indictment, of theft by unlawful taking or disposition and forgery.
