After dispute, Elizabeth cop re-indicted on insurance fraud charges
Updated Jan 13, 2021;
A Superior Court judge on Tuesday ruled that a motion to dismiss an Elizabeth cop’s insurance fraud indictment was moot since the prosecutor on the case sought a new indictment from a grand jury after the judge called the prosecution’s work on the first one “sloppy.”
Alana Velazquez, who became a police officer in 2010, was charged in 2017 with insurance fraud, theft by deception, and three counts of uttering a forged document. Her criminal charges came about a year after she filed suit against the Elizabeth Police Department claiming racial discrimination.
