Camden County Prosecutor Vincent P. Sarubbi and Lt. Col. Frederick
H. Madden, Acting Superintendent of the New Jersey State Police, announced
that former Camden Police Detective Miguel Torres, M/32, pleaded guilty
today to three counts of Theft by Deception. Torres admitted in court
that he submitted false and inflated vouchers to receive overtime
pay from the City of Camden.
As part of a plea agreement negotiated by Assistant Prosecutor Joel
Aronow, Torres consented to pay $9,000 restitution. The agreement
also calls for Torres, who resigned from the Camden Police Department
in 1999, to serve five years probation and a 364-day jail term to
be served under house arrest. The case resulted from a joint investigation
by the Camden County Prosecutor's Office and the New Jersey State
Police.
Torres, of Parkville Station Road in West Deptford, N.J., admitted
committing the offenses between June 10, 1997, and Nov. 5, 1999, while
he was assigned to the police department's Executive Protection Detail
as a bodyguard to former Camden Mayor Milton Milan.
