A Mays Landing woman tasked with providing entertainment and buying items for seniors living in an Ocean County senior living home was helping herself to the funds, criminal charges claim.
Alicia Campbell, 35, was the lifestyle director at Greenbriar Oceanaire Community and Golf Course, a senior living community in Ocean Township.
She was supposed to spend funds on entertainment, events and items for the senior community.
Instead, she allegedly bought more than $81,000 worth of items for herself between January 2019 and January 2022, according to Ocean County First Assistant Prosecutor Michael Nolan Jr. and Ocean Township Police Chief Michal Rogalski.
Campbell also is accused of using the digital money app Venmo to send more than $94,000 to third parties from the association's accounts, only to have them immediately sent to her own account.
She is charged with theft, financial facilitation, forgery, falsifying records and credit card fraud.
Campbell allegedly had co-worker Evan Garaizar produce receipts that made it look like legitimate purchases for the association.
Garaizar, 25, of Barnegat, was allegedly paid $1,900 for his role. He is charged with forgery.
Campbell turned herself in to Ocean Township police last Tuesday and was released on a summons.
Garaizar surrendered Friday and also was given a summons.
