A Hudson County corrections officer could end up with the inmates he guards after he was charged with submitting falsified medical records, Hudson County Prosecutor Esther Suarez said.
Marko Nakhla, 34, of Bayonne was arrested on Wednesday on one count of forgery, a fourth-degree crime. He was released on a summons and is scheduled to make his first court appearance May 4.
The Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office investigation revealed that Nakhla submitted the falsified records to his employer to receive additional paid medical leave.
The prosecutor credited her office’s Public Integrity Unit with the arrest and investigation.
