WAILUKU, Maui — A former Maui police officer will be serving time in jail for deceiving her colleagues into thinking that she was terminally ill.
The Maui News reports that Allison Moore was sentenced Friday to one year in jail after pleading no contest to seven counts of second-degree forgery and other charges.
Prosecutors say Moore used forged notes from doctors to dupe her fellow police officers and others into believing that she had been diagnosed with cervical cancer and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
But prosecutors say she was really battling a methamphetamine drug addiction.
Besides a jail sentence, the 29-year-old Moore was also ordered to pay $12,554 in restitution.
She was also ordered not to consume alcohol or illegal drugs and to undergo mental health treatment as part of five years’ probation.
