A 911 dispatch supervisor was arrested for grand theft after investigators determined she falsified her time sheets over the course of about a year to receive $1,872 more pay than she should have.
Melissa Leigh Sharkey of Jacksonville was arrested Monday, two weeks after an internal investigation into her time records was complete.
"During the investigation, ... Sharkey's signed time sheets were reviewed and compared against her actual computer-generated log in and log out times for the last year," said Nassau County Sheriff Tommy Seagraves. "Upon careful review of these documents, it revealed 42 discrepancies from Sept. 11, 2007 through Nov. 1, 2008."
Seagraves said most of the discrepancies caused Sharkey to get overtime pay she was not entitled to.
"When tabulating the monetary value received, through the fraudulently obtained hours, it was revealed that the amount totaled $1,872.11," Seagraves said.
The results of the Nassau County Sheriff's Office internal investigation were given to the State Attorney's Office and a warrant for Sharkey's arrest was issued on the charge of grand theft.
Sharkey has been released from jail on $2,002 bond.

If you're stupid enough to try something so idiotic, at least make it for a dollar amount that is truly beneficial. I know, I know... just trying to keep the dollar amounts low enough to hopefully go under the radar. Sounds like the person in charge of oversee needs a gold star in their file.
