The Police Chief in Buena Borough, Atlantic County, has given up his job after pleading guilty yesterday to obtaining a prescription by fraud.
The Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office said the now former chief, David Sherma, 37, of Landisville, pleaded guilty to the fourth-degree offense dating back to March.
At the time, a Vineland pharmacy contacted the local police department about a suspicious prescription they received from Sherma.
The Vineland Police Department and the prosecutor's office launched an investigation and determined the prescription, which they did not name, was indeed fraudulent.
