Lisa Dowd, 52 of Barnegat, NJ
In accordance with her previously filed guilty plea to theft, Lisa Dowd, 52, of Barnegat, was sentenced by the Honorable Linda G. Baxter, J.S.C. (retired and serving on recall), to three years in New Jersey state prison on June 2, 2023, according to an announcement made by the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office. Additionally, Dowd was mandated by Judge Baxter to pay the victim $108,415 in reparation. On March 21, 2023, Dowd admitted guilt before Judge Baxter.
An investigation by the Barnegat Township Police Department revealed that Dowd was an employee in the office of a marina in Barnegat Township. Between January 2018 and December 2021, Dowd forged numerous checks drawn on various bank accounts belonging to the marina.
Dowd made some of the forged checks payable to herself and deposited them in her personal checking account. Additional checks were forged and used to pay for her utilities and her personal credit card bill. In total, the investigation revealed $108,415 in money that was stolen from the marina.
On November 23, 2022, Dowd surrendered herself at Barnegat Township Police Headquarters, where she was processed and charged on a summons pending future appearances in Ocean County Superior Court.
