Ex-Readington condo manager sentenced

The former community manager of the Whitehouse Village Condominium Association in Readington was sentenced Friday in Superior Court to five years in prison for stealing at least $200,000 from the organization, authorities said.

Nicole Hughes, 35, of the Port Murray section of Mansfield pleaded guilty May 11 to one count of second-degree theft by failure to make required disposition of property and one count of third-degree forgery, according to the Hunterdon County Prosecutor's Office.

She also was ordered to make full restitution.

Superior Court Judge Roger F. Mahon, sitting in Flemington, ordered five years in prison on the theft charge and three years on the forgery charge, authorities said.

The sentences will run concurrently.

Prosecutor's Office spokesman Detective Dan Hurley said Hughes began working for the condo association in 2004 and, during her two years on the job, used the money for personal expenses.

Hurley said a 2006 audit triggered an investigation, eventually leading to Hughes's arrest.

Members of Whitehouse Village's board of trustees did not return calls Friday seeking comment.
