Ocean County First Assistant Prosecutor Michael T. Nolan, Jr. announced that on October 29, 2024, Alicia Campbell, 37, of Mays Landing, was charged with Tampering with Public Records or Information, Impersonation, Forgery, Obstruction of Justice, and Making an Unsworn False Statement to Authorities. The charges are related to an existing prosecution against Campbell for Theft, Financial Facilitation, and Forgery, all in connection with her former position as Lifestyle Director of the Greenbriar Oceanaire Community & Golf Course, a senior living community in Ocean Township (Waretown).
The original charges against Campbell are the result of an investigation conducted by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Economic Crime Squad and Ocean Township Police Department. The investigation revealed that Campbell – in her capacity as Lifestyle Director of the Greenbriar Oceanaire Community & Golf Course – was responsible for providing entertainment, planning events, and purchasing items for the senior community. The investigation further revealed that between January 2019 and January 2022, Campbell utilized funds belonging to the association and purchased items for her own personal use and benefit in an amount exceeding $81,000.00. Additionally, Campbell utilized Venmo, a digital wallet application, to send money to third parties from the association’s accounts – only to have those monies immediately sent back to her and deposited into her personal bank account for a total amount exceeding $94,000. The total theft of association funds by Campbell exceeds $175,000.
On March 28, 2023, Campbell surrendered herself to Ocean Township Police Headquarters, and was served with the charges via summons pending an upcoming first appearance in Ocean County Superior Court.
On January 3, 2024 Campbell was indicted by a Grand Jury sitting in Ocean County on the charges of Theft, Financial Facilitation, and Forgery; she was arraigned on these charges on February 5, 2024. In April 2024, Campbell claimed that her minor child was undergoing treatment for leukemia in Philadelphia. During the summer of 2024, Campbell advised the Court that the treatments in Philadelphia were not successful, and that it was necessary for her child to be transferred to the Texas Children’s Hospital for imminent and urgent care. Campbell submitted documentation to the Court – purportedly from the doctors treating her child. Based upon these representations and the documentation submitted, the Court repeatedly granted adjournments of Campbell’s pending case so that she might pursue the care necessary for her child’s well-being.
In August 2024, Campbell once again asked for an adjournment of her case, claiming that her child was still receiving care in Texas. Campbell submitted a document on letterhead – purportedly from the Leukemia Program at the Texas Children’s Hospital – detailing her child’s condition and treatment regimen. Personnel at the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office took note of the fact that the address for the hospital was incorrect, and there was no additional contact information for the doctor who allegedly authored the letter. Further investigation by Detectives from the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Economic Crimes Squad revealed that the letter was, in fact, a forgery, and that the hospital never even met Campbell – nor did it provide any care for Campbell’s child. Consequently, on October 29, 2024, Campbell was charged with the offenses referenced above. On that same date, Campbell was taken into custody at her residence in Mays Landing without incident. She was transported to the Ocean County Jail, where she is presently lodged pending a detention hearing.
First Assistant Prosecutor Nolan acknowledges the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Economic Crime Squad, as well as the Ocean Township Police Department, for their collaborative efforts in connection with these investigations.
The charges referenced above are merely accusations and the press and public are reminded that all defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
