WILLIAMSPORT — The former workers’ compensation director at a Clinton County nursing home has been placed on two years’ probation and fined $10,000 for conspiring to steal more than $500,000 through a kickback scheme that involved a physician.

Paul D. Polen, 72, of Lock Haven, also must forfeit $628,450, be on home confinement for six months, and participate in a mental health treatment program.

U.S. Middle District Judge Mathew W. Brann imposed that sentence Thursday, choosing to vary downward from the guideline of 30 to 37 months in prison.
