Sentencing set for South Portland payroll scheme case
A Cumberland County jury found Thomas L. Stover Sr. guilty of cheating and conspiracy in a Portland Public Works payroll scheme. Sentencing is scheduled for Oct 22. Stover, who had 19 years with PWD, is among seven employees charged in the scheme totaling about $8,000 in fraudulent overtime over five years beginning in December 1970. Former timekeeper Roderick D. Morgan, who masterminded the plan, was sentenced to three years with most suspended. Morgan testified that Stover recruited him, though Stover claimed he noticed the overpayments and voiced concerns, saying he had no knowledge afterward. Action against the remaining four employees is pending.
