There may be more charges to come against a group of former DeKalb County employees who faked their overtime hours and paid kickbacks.
In addition to the four people already imprisoned for their roles in the scheme, DeKalb District Attorney Robert James told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that others will likely face criminal charges as well.
Crew members in DeKalb’s Department of Watershed Management, which provides water and sewer services, exaggerated the number of hours they worked during 2011, according to court documents.
Then they paid a payroll manager between $700 and $3,000 every other week in exchange for her approval of inflated working hours.
The crimes stole at least $85,000 from the county, and that number could rise if others face charges.
