Santa Fe Officer Wagner takes plea deal in time-card fraud case, must leave department
Jason Wagner, a longtime Santa Fe police officer accused of timecard fraud, pleaded no contest Tuesday to one of three counts of receiving public money for services not rendered as part of a plea deal that will require him to resign from the city’s force and never work there again.
The count, originally charged as a felony that carried a possible 18 months in jail, was reduced to a misdemeanor as part of his plea deal.
The deal calls for Wagner to serve 364 days of unsupervised probation and pay about $592 worth of restitution. But it grants him a conditional discharge, meaning he won’t have a conviction on his record if he completes his probation without violations.
The deal, which First District Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer accepted Tuesday — is the same one that her colleague District Judge T. Glenn Ellington rejected in November.
