Two Charged With Stealing Tax Payments

A mailroom worker at the state Department of Revenue has admitted she helped take money orders sent in by Georgians to pay their taxes. Constance Morgan, 44, pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to defraud the state in Fulton County Superior Court. Her accomplice, Terry Richardson, 46, pled guilty to a similar charge on April 2. State revenue officials say Morgan took five money orders sent in to pay taxes and gave them to Richardson to alter and cash. Morgan and Richardson were each sentenced to five year probated sentences and ordered to complete 360 hours of community service. They must also pay restitution and fines. Morgan and Richardson both live in East Point, Ga.
