A man accused of trying to collect someone else's retirement benefits has been arrested in Las Vegas. 45 year old Carl Dean Robertson is accused of obtaining retirement benefit payments intended for a deceased Nevada PERS member. After payments ceased, Robertson attempted to reinstate the retirement benefit payments by misrepresenting himself to be a Nevada PERS member through a series of forged documents. Attorney general Adam Laxalt says Schemes that take advantage of a program designed to compensate state employees for their hard work and service will not be tolerated. This case was investigated and is being prosecuted by the Attorney General’s Criminal Prosecution Unit.
