Another Jersey City police officer has admitted
taking part in a scheme to receive pay for off-duty jobs that weren't
performed.
According to the U.S. Attorney's Office, Officer Gicella Sanchez
pleaded guilty Tuesday to one count of conspiracy to defraud a local government
receiving federal funds.
Authorities say that between November 2014 and
June 2016, Sanchez was paid thousands of dollars for work she didn't perform or
for shifts she started but didn't complete.
Sanchez faces a maximum penalty of five years
in prison when she's sentenced in February.
Eleven other officers have pleaded guilty to
similar charges.
