Meriden Health Director Charged With Falsifying Report

We ran this earlier in the week, but wanted to bring it back in case you didn’t see it before. 

Meriden Director of Health and Human Services Lisa Pippa was charged Friday with falsifying the report of a reported burglary.

Pippa has been on administrative leave from her position and turned herself in Friday, according to the Record-Journal.

Pippa reported a burglary two weeks ago in the health department, but the incident may have been staged, according to city officials. There have also been a number of strange letters that city officials have been receiving.

Her lawyer said that she suffers from a mental illness and that combined with a recent medication for a neck surgery led to the events of the past couple of weeks.
