She submitted payroll records, including overtime slips, with falsely reported hours. RAMPAUL fraudulently received at least $132,366.85 in pay that she did not earn.

Stephen MacArthur (Financial Frauds Bureau) is handling the prosecution of this case under the supervision of Assistant D.A.s Kofi Sansculotte (Chief of the Financial Frauds Bureau), Judy Salwen (Deputy Chief of the Investigation Division) and Executive Assistant D.A.
