Former County Clerk Sentenced for Insurance Fraud

A former San Mateo County files clerk caught on video working at restaurants she owned while collecting disability for a supposed back injury was sentenced Thursday to 120 days in jail, according to District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe. But Superior Court Judge Craig Parsons recommended that sheriff’s officials instead confine and electronically monitor Sunita Sagar, 46, inside her home over that period. Parsons also placed Sagar on probation for three years, but defense attorney Lauren Kramer said the felony fraud charge will be reduced to a misdemeanor after 18 months if she behaves.
