A Mays Landing woman who stole from the senior community in Waretown where she worked and then falsely claimed her child was undergoing cancer treatments to win adjournments in her case has been sentenced to six years in prison.
Alicia Campbell, 37, pleaded guilty in June to theft committed by way of her former position as lifestyle director for the Greenbriar Oceanaire Community and Golf Course and obstruction of justice.
Superior Court Judge Kenneth T. Palmer Friday also handed down an 18-month sentence to Campbell for the obstruction charge. The sentence is to run concurrently with the six-year term.

Between January 2019 and January 2022, she used funds that belonged to the association and purchased items for her own use, First Assistant Ocean County Prosecutor Michael T. Nolan Jr. said in a statement.Campbell also used Venmo, a digital wallet app, to send money to third parties from the association’s accounts, only to have that money immediately sent back to her and deposited into her personal bank account, Nolan said.
Campbell was charged with theft, financial facilitation, forgery, falsifying records, and credit card fraud in March 2023.In April 2024, Campbell claimed that her minor child was undergoing treatment for leukemia in Philadelphia, Nolan said.
