New Jersey Employee Admits Stealing $31G From Parking Meters
Tuesday, January 06, 2009
NEWARK, N.J. - Bowing to temptation is going to
cost an Irvington meter maid his freedom.
Under a deal reached with prosecutors, 52-year-old
Rodney Dennis has agreed to repay more than $31,000
he stole from parking meters.
State officials say Dennis pleaded guilty Monday
to second-degree official misconduct. He faces
three to five years in prison when he's sentenced
next month.
Dennis was responsible for emptying municipal
parking meters, bagging the coins and depositing
them in an Irvington Police Department account.
Instead, authorities say he placed them in his
own account from Jan. 21 to Dec. 6, 2006.
The large coin deposits were noticed by a bank
investigator, who alerted police. Dennis was
fired in February 2008.

Greed and stupdidity seems to be what gets most criminals caught. Had
he limited the amount he stole (a few coins from each meter) and used
different banks to deposit the coins he might have gotten away with
the crime for a long time.

Cities have a pretty good take on how much cash each meter takes in. My
brother was a finance director for a suburb of Chicago and he counted on the
projected take from the meters. 25 cents from each one each day might go
unnoticed, but even that in the long run would be noticable.
