Ex-parking meter worker charged with stealing $30K
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) - June 18, 2008 An indictment handed up Wednesday against Rodney Dennis charges
him with official misconduct and theft.
Authorities say the 52-year-old was supposed to deposit the
coins in an Irvington police department account after removing them
from the meters. He's accused of putting them in his own bank
account instead during most of 2006.
Officials say a bank investigator became suspicious and alerted
police. Dennis was fired in February.
His lawyer, Rubin Sinins, says Dennis will plead not guilty, but
declined to comment further.
