Former Kennebunk clinic director gets 20 months
The former executive director of a mental health clinic in Arundel was sentenced to at least 20 months in prison after pleading guilty to charges including fraud, forgery and tax evasion that prosecutors say led to the clinic’s closure.
Maine’s Office of the Attorney General said in a press release that Mari Jo Allen, 42, was sentenced to serve four years in prison, with all but 20 months suspended, and pay $76,561 in restitution for taxes evaded and unemployment benefits she received fraudulently during and after her time as executive director of Pediatric Evaluations for Development Solutions Clinic in Kennebunk.
The nonprofit mental health clinic provided mental and developmental services for children.
Prosecutors found that Allen stole around $18,000 in employee withholding taxes and wrote herself around $200,000 in checks from the clinic over 18 months during which doctors, insurers and local vendors were not being paid.
The clinic was forced to close in 2010.
