Authorities on Friday arrested former Floyd County deputy court clerk Connie Nadine May and judge’s secretary Carol Corbin in connection with an investigation into the possible doctoring of court records.
May, 51, is accused of illegally altering the records of two defendants, backdating the sentence dispositions of two men by three days. Corbin, 55, then lied about the documents. Both lied days later to a Rome police investigator about the records, their indictment states.
May allegedly failed to immediately process court records, which resulted in the delayed release of two inmates, Floyd County Superior Court Clerk Barbara Penson said.
Indicted and arrested Friday, both women were released on their own recognizance.
May is charged with two counts of public record fraud and one count each of making false statements and violating her oath as a public officer.
Corbin, a secretary for Chief Judge Walter Matthews, is charged with four counts of making false statements.
