Dickman's supervisor received complaints that she was getting non-business-related phone calls and was absent from her work area when she should have been working. Based on e-mails and other documents found on Dickman's work computer, the state investigated her for violations of state law. She was convicted of conducting "personal business for financial gain on state time utilizing state resources." Separate criminal investigations resulted in convictions forgery and -ling an unrelated fraudulent insurance claim. She "retired" from her job and -led a claim with the state of Connecticut against the health center, alleging that her former employer had initiated the investigations to harass her and force her to quit.
