DOI: Jail Guard’s Military Leave Docs Fraudulent
Posted on Friday, 27 of November , 2009 at 8:41 pm
NEW YORK—A corrections officer with the New York City Department of Correction has been charged with submitting eight fraudulent military leave documents to DOC that falsely reported that he had been ordered to report to military duty.
As a result, officials say Timothy McLilly, 42, of Queens, obtained approximately $13,668 from the City that he was not entitled to receive.
The investigation began after it was notified by DOC about irregularities in military leave documents submitted by McLilly.
He was charged with third and fourth degree grand larceny, second degree forgery, and first degree falsifying business records, all felonies; petit larceny, third degree forgery and second degree falsifying business records, all misdemeanors.
McLilly has been employed with DOC since January 1988 and currently receives an annual salary of approximately $73,546.
Prosecutors said that between June 6, 1997 and Jan. 30, 2001, McLillu was enlisted in the U.S. Army Reserves; between February 2001 and July 2009, McLilly was enlisted in the U.S. Navy Reserves; and from July 2009 to the present, he re-enlisted in the U.S. Army Reserves. He was authorized to be paid by DOC when he was ordered to military duty, up to 30 days annually.
The investigation found that between January 2001 and March 2009, McLilly submitted eight documents indicating he had been ordered to military duty. DOI investigators said they found an array of falsifications on the submitted documents, including forged signatures; leave dates that occurred after the defendant had been discharged from service; and fabricated military orders.
As a result of these alleged falsifications, McLilly obtained approximately $13,668 in pay from the City he was not entitled to receive, prosecutors said. 11-27-09
