Former school workers enter pleas in fraud case

DETROIT (AP) -- Two former Detroit Public Schools employees have pleaded guilty to conspiring to defraud the district of nearly $380,000. U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade says 45-year-old Toni Gilbert and 56-year-old Anton Carter entered the pleas Tuesday in federal court in Detroit. Gilbert had worked as a payroll manager and issued checks to Carter between 2000 and 2005. Carter, a DPS retiree, also was receiving disability checks from the district. Federal authorities accuse Carter of giving Gilbert a portion of the money cashed from the payroll checks. McQuade also says Gilbert acknowledged issuing paychecks to deceased district employees. Sentencing is May 18 for Gilbert and June 1 for Carter. Published: Thu, Feb 4, 2010
