A Town of Parker employee, who defrauded the municipality, has been sentenced to prison.
According to the Arizona Attorney General’s Office, Jennifer Elizabeth Alcaida, a former office specialist for the Town of Parker, was sentenced on February 23, 2026, to 3.5 years in the Arizona Department of Corrections by Mohave County Superior Court.
Alcaida committed multiple forms of fraud against the Town of Parker.
Alcaida created unauthorized checks drawn on town accounts, withheld cash she was required to deposit into town accounts, and used a town-issued credit card to make personal purchases. Alcaida also fraudulently obtained a Paycheck Protection Program loan from the U.S. Small Business Administration, falsely claiming the funds were needed to cover payroll for employees at her personal business — a business that did not exist.
Upon her release, Alcaida will serve a seven-year probation term and has been ordered to pay $194,128.54 in restitution.
