Robin Mallory, of Lancaster, Ohio, pled guilty to a fifth degreefelony following her arrest for workers' comp. fraud.

The Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation (BWC) initiated aninvestigation in 2007 after receiving a tip from an internal sourcethat Mallory was exaggerating the extent of her disability to herphysician. The BWC's Special Investigation Department (SID) didn'thave to do much investigating before they figured out that Mallorywas committing fraud, seeing as she was collecting wages from sixdifferent employers at the same time that she was receivingtemporary total disability benefits.

Mallory was staying pretty busy collecting all of those benefitsand checks, but she'll still have plenty to do now that she's beencaught. As of her sentence date, January 26, 2010, instead ofworking to conceal her employment, she'll be working to repay theBWC the $15,353.48 that she owes them, along with $2,000 ininvestigative costs. Mallory will also spend six months inincarceration, will be suspended for a 30 month term of communitycontrol, and will complete 25 hours of community service forcommitting workers' comp. fraud.
