Woman, 33, 'impersonated New Hampshire prosecutor to drop stalking and meth charges against herself'
Lisa Landon, 33, from New Hampshire, has been charged with impersonating a prosecutor and falsifying documents to drop charges against herself
A New Hampshire woman has been accused of taking the law into her own hands by impersonating a prosecutor and filing bogus documents to drop stalking and drug charges against herself.
The Hillsborough County Grand Jury earlier this month returned indictments against Lisa Landon, charging the 33-year-old woman with one count of false personation and six charges of falsifying physical evidence, along with additional charges of burglary and theft.
According to the indictments obtained by the New Hampshire Union Leader, Landon, of Littleton, submitted falsified documents in three different court cases last November and December using the state's electronic filing system.
Landon's alleged scheme unraveled after a state forensic examiner who was supposed to perform a competency evaluation on her contacted Hillsborough County prosecutors, telling them that he noticed in her file that charges had been dropped.
Landon was facing counts of methamphetamine possession and stalking.
'The file purported to contain a nolle prosequi (drop the charges) filed by Assistant County Attorney Patrice Casian, but it quickly became evident to the State that the document, as well as other documents in the file, had been filed fraudulently,' wrote Superior Court Judge David Anderson in his ruling.
According to the indictments, Landon also fraudulently filed an order to waive fees in a lawsuit she brought against the county, and faked documents to halt guardianship proceedings involving her child.
