An Ocean County Superior Court judge ordered a mental health evaluation for the woman accused of falsifying her child’s leukemia diagnosis to delay her criminal trial.

Alicia Campbell, 37, of Mays Landing, was released following a detention hearing Monday and now has 30 days to undergo a court-ordered evaluation, said Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office spokesman Bryan Huntenburg.

Campbell was initially charged with theft, financial facilitation and forgery in March 2023 after she was accused of stealing $175,000 from Greenbriar Oceanaire Community & Golf Course in Waretown, where she was previously employed as senior community lifestyle director. She was indicted on those charges earlier this year.

Last week, she was also charged with falsifying public records, impersonation, forgery, obstruction of justice and making a false unsworn statement to authorities after it was alleged that doctor’s notes she submitted to the court were fake.

In April of this year, Campbell asked for and was granted a postponement of her trial after she submitted documents claiming her child had leukemia and needed to be rushed to a Texas hospital for emergency care, officials said .

Four months later, she sent more documents to the court showing the child was still receiving care in Texas and asked for another delay. On the note’s letterhead, the court noted that the hospital’s address was incorrect and there was no contact information for the doctor, authorities said.

Further investigation found the letter was forged and Campbell’s child never received medical care at the Texas hospital, prosecutors said.

In her original criminal filing, Campbell is accused of spending $81,000 of her former employer’s funds on personal expenses, transferring another $94,000 to her personal bank accounts and paying a co-worker $1,900 to create false receipts in an attempt to cover up the scheme.
