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.

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.
