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.
