Embezzling 390000 nets woman prison term
Carla Nofitzger, a former New Mexico Human Services Department employee in Gallup, was sentenced to 1 year 1 month in state prison for participating in a scheme that defrauded the agency of more than 390000. Her sentence includes six years suspended, with nine months potentially served. She began serving August 16 and had left the agency in 2004. The 2001 to 2004 probe found payments issued under the Medicaid Travel Program to move indigent patients for medical work in cities like Albuquerque and Phoenix. Rueben Martinez, her boyfriend, already pleads guilty and is serving three years.
