The siblings allegedly conspired to pull off a medical insurance scheme.
FREEHOLD -- A Monmouth County grand jury on Monday indicted a suspended Asbury Park police officer and his sister on charges of insurance fraud.
The indictment charged Alix Antoine, a 12-year veteran of the Asbury Park Police Department who is suspended, with one count each of official misconduct, conspiracy to commit official misconduct, insurance fraud and tampering with public records, said acting Monmouth County Prosecutor Christopher Gramiccioni.
Also named in the indictment was Antoine's sister, Patricia Antoine, who is charged with one count each of conspiracy to commit official misconduct and insurance fraud.
Authorities said Alix Antoine filed false documents that allowed his sister to receive medical benefits she was not entitled to. Alix Antoine, 37, was a member of the Asbury Park Police Department at the time.
Both Alix and Patricia Antoine, 43, of Clifton, face a maximum sentence of 10 years in state prison.
Alix Antoine was released from jail after he posted $150,000 bail. Patricia Antoine was released on her own recognizance.
