Coworkers of a Florida sheriff’s detective donated hundreds of their sick-leave hours to her, believing she was severely ill with COVID-19, but she was faking the illness and was actually working at a new full-time job, authorities said.
Sheriff’s Deputy Trent Freeman claimed she was in the hospital and received hundreds of hours of sick leave her colleagues donated to her. Instead, she'd forged everything.
Trent Kellee Freeman, 38, has been arrested for fraudulently claiming $3,700 from Gilchrist County Sheriff s Office in the form of paid sick leave that her co-workers donated to her.
