A COMMONWEALTH Utilities Corp. employee who was charged for stealing money from a customer has pleaded guilty to misconduct in public office.
Manuel Quitano Camacho, 42, appeared for a change of plea hearing on Friday before Associate Judge Kenneth L. Govendo.
Camacho was represented by attorney Brien Sers Nicholas.
Assistant Attorney General Mike Nisperos agreed to dismiss the theft by deception charge with prejudice in exchange for Camacho’s plea.
Govendo accepted the plea and sentenced Camacho to 60 days of imprisonment, all suspended, except for eight hours of time already served.
Camacho was also placed on probation for 18 months.
He will pay a fine of $500, an assessment fee of $25 and a probation fee to be determined by the Office of Adult probation.
Camacho will perform 100 hours of community work service and submit a letter of apology to CUC and to Charles Cepeda.
Camacho’s review hearing was set for March 13, 2008 at 9 a.m.
Camacho was charged for taking $1,622.61 from Cepeda.
According to the Attorney General’s Office, Camacho committed the illegal acts between Dec. 2006 and April 2007 as CUC’s administrative support assistant.
It was Charles Cepeda, general manager of Pacific Trading, who wrote a letter to CUC regarding several power billing transactions with Camacho.
Camacho received over $1,000 from Cepeda but did not forward the money to CUC.
Camacho said he used the money to purchase a new alternator for his truck.
