Former Boston police officer sentenced to prison for overtime fraud
BOSTON, MA – James Carnes, a 61-year-old former Boston Police Department officer from Canton, was convicted yesterday of substantial overtime fraud. U.S. District Judge Nathaniel M. Gorton ordered Carnes to serve two years’ probation, with the first six months under house arrest, and fined him $5,000 and ordered him to pay $20,106 in restitution.
Carnes admitted to submitting fraudulent overtime reports between July 2016 and February 2019. In April 2021, he pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit theft in connection with programs receiving federal funds and embezzlement of funds from an agency receiving federal funds.
The fraudulent activities took place during two overtime shifts in the department’s evidence storage facility. During the “cleanup” overtime shift, which involved destroying outdated evidence, Carnes routinely left the office two hours early. During the “kiosk” overtime shift, which involved collecting old prescription drugs from police precincts for destruction, Carnes claimed nearly twice the number of hours actually worked.
These fraudulent activities coincided with the fact that the Boston Police Department received significant federal funding from the U.S. Department of Transportation and the U.S. Department of Justice, highlighting the impact of its activities on federally sponsored programs.
