Three former DeKalb County watershed workers who investigators say doctored time sheets and lied about overtime are going to prison, Channel 2 Action News reported.
Cynthia Hall, Jarvis Foster and Anthony Lee pleaded guilty Wednesday to theft by taking, Channel 2 said.
Hall and Foster received 15 years with two years to serve and the rest on probation, according to Channel 2, which said they must also perform community service and pay $20,000 restitution to the county.
Foster faked overtime and split the extra pay with Hall, who altered time sheets, Channel 2 reported.
Lee was sentenced to 15 years with one to serve.
“I have said from the very start that we are going to fix DeKalb County government once and for all, and today’s announcement … simply illustrates another step in that process,” interim DeKalb CEO Lee May said in a statement. “We will continue to investigate ourselves and cooperate with outside investigative agencies like the (district attorney’s) office until such time as we root out all forms of corruption and wrongdoing in DeKalb County government.”
