CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A former Cuyahoga County weights-and-measures inspector was indicted Thursday on 61 felony counts, including theft in office, tampering with records and forgery.

Lisa Rogers, 39, was fired in August 2012 after a county investigation found she falsified dozens of reports certifying the accuracy of price scanner and scales used at suburban shopping areas, such as Beachwood Place.

Rogers is the daughter of Santina "Sandy" Klimkowski, a former deputy to former County Auditor Frank Russo. Klimkowski pleaded guilty to federal bribery-related charges but is still awaiting sentencing.

County Inspector General Nailah Byrd's office did the initial investigation that showed Rogers submitted inspection paperwork signed by nonexistent store managers and had certified at least one scale no longer in use.

Inspectors are supposed to use weights to test the accuracy of scales. They also weigh cuts of meat to make sure packaging stickers reflect the accurate weight and check whether scanners ring up the listed prices on store items.

Cuyahoga County Prosecutor's office spokesman Joe Frolik said after his office got Byrd's report they worked with the state Bureau of Criminal Identification to further investigate the allegations and delve further into the work patterns of Rogers. The offenses charged in the indictment cover an entire decade from 2002 through 2012.

Rogers, a resident of Broadview Heights, started work at the county in 1999 and worked until going on disability leave on October 2009, when she said a co-worker drove a car over her foot.

In 2010, County Auditor Frank Russo fired Rogers and her husband, Raymond, after he learned her mother was cooperating with federal authorities in a case against him.

At the time he said she violated policies and procedures but the State Personnel Board of Review later forced the county to rehire Rogers and her husband.

Raymond Rogers made made $67,000 at the time to issue vendor and dog licenses. Lisa Rogers made $45,200 annually.

A six-month investigation by Byrd's office found multiple examples of lax oversight of all the county's weights-and-measures inspectors, who are supposed to protect shoppers from being cheated at gas pumps, checkout lines and deli counters. The report recommended re-inspecting stores covered by Rogers, whose area included the cities of Beachwood, Bedford, Bedford Heights, Brecksville, Independence, Lakewood and Maple Heights.

Byrd's report found Rogers verified a scale at a Godiva chocolate store that was no longer in use.

In other cases, the report found that Rogers listed incorrect prices, products that stores did not carry and scanner codes without enough digits.

"We terminated this employee after they had shown a pattern of misconduct that simply could not be justified," Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald said in a release from the prosecutor's office. "We are glad to see that County Prosecutor McGinty agrees and would like to thank him and his office for their diligent work," FitzGerald said. He said his administration would continue to investigate and eliminate public corruption.
