Carmen Turner, deputy tax clerk Shemerrylyn Fields, and Victor Ewing, the father of Turner's adult son, were arrested following a year-long investigation by the Department of Justice. Turner allegedly used the Tax Office Payroll to pay an employee to care for her mother at the taxpayer's expense and even brought on her adult son's father as a "department coordinator."
