A former Norwich Board of Education member pleaded guilty this week to two counts of forgery and was given suspended sentences and probation on both cases, according to court documents.
James Maloney pleaded guilty in Norwich Superior Court on Monday to a felony second-degree forgery charge in exchange for a four-year suspended sentence and two years of probation, according to the state’s judicial website.
Maloney resigned his position on the Board of Education in June 2019 after being charged with forging an insurance document for a city basketball league.
Maloney was arrested again in December 2019 and charged with third-degree forgery for creating fake receipts while applying for tax benefits. He was given a six-month sentence again, suspended and two years of probation after entering a guilty plea in the case on Monday.
