A pair of former members of the Massachusetts State Police were arrested by federal agents early Friday.
MassLive has learned the names of the former law enforcement officials: Daniel J. Griffin, a former lieutenant and commanding officer of the Massachusetts State Police Traffic Programs Section, and William W. Robertson, a former sergeant with the state police. Both face a slew of charges, including conspiracy to steal federal funds and wire fraud, according to indictments that were unsealed Friday morning.
Griffin and Robertson would regularly arrive late to, and leave early from overtime shifts funded with federal dollars from 2015 through 2018, prosecutors claim, starting overtime shifts during regular work hours or leaving two-to-three hours before they were scheduled to end.
