Rocky Hill, CT (CompNewsNetwork) - A former state Department of Transportation (DOT) employee was charged today with Workers' Compensation Fraud for allegedly working as a landscaper while collecting disability benefits from the state.
CLINT J. VERDONE, age 33, of Hebron, was charged with Fraudulent Claim or Receipt of Benefits, a felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison.
According to the arrest warrant affidavit, Mr. Verdone collected more than $12,000 in disability benefits as a result of a work-related injury he supposedly suffered on September 22, 2009, while employed by the DOT.
The warrant alleges that during the time he was receiving benefits Mr. Verdone failed to disclose his work capacity and the income he earned while working at his business, Diamond Landscaping.
He was released on a written promise to appear in Rockville Superior Court, G.A. No. 19 on December 3, 2010.
The case will be prosecuted by the Workers' Compensation Fraud Control Bureau of the Chief State's Attorney's Office in Rocky Hill.
The charge against Mr. Verdone is merely an accusation, and he is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
