The former owner of two Passaic County nail salons was sentenced Friday for offering money to an undercover investigator in order to obtain a false inspection report after multiple violations were found at his salon.
Won Jun Hur, 45, of Norwood, Bergen County, was sentenced to three years probation
conditioned on 364 days in the Passaic County jail by state Superior Court Judge Marilyn C. Clark in Paterson,state Criminal Justice Director Stephen J. Taylor announced.
The sentence was based on Hur's Dec. 22 guilty plea to unlawful benefit to a public servant. Hur was charged in a July 8 state grand jury indictment.
In pleading guilty, Hur, the owner of Angel Tips Nail Spas on Route 46 and Angel Tips Nail Spas on Ackerman Ave., both in Clifton, admitted that he gave money to an undercover investigator.An investigation by the Division of Criminal Justice determined that Angel Tips Nail Spas on Rt. 46 had multiple violations, including unlicensed employees and unsanitary conditions within the salon. Upon learning of these violations, Hur arranged a meeting with the undercover investigator. He admitted that, at that meeting, he provided less than $200 to the investigator so that she would provide a false inspection report indicating that there were no violations.
Detectives Lisa Shea and Robyn Greene and Deputy Attorneys General Frank Brady and Richard Queen coordinated the investigation. Queen prosecuted the case.
The matter was referred to the Division of Criminal Justice by the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs.
