By MyFM’s Claire Beverly – A former Boston Police Sergeant from Franklin has been sentenced to probation and home detention for committing overtime fraud. The US Attorney’s Office says George Finch was sentenced to 6 months home detention and 3 years’ probation and ordered to pay $11,000 in restitution after pleading guilty in 2021 to conspiracy and embezzlement from an agency receiving federal funds. Prosecutors say in 2015 and 2016 Finch submitted false overtime slips for shifts he didn’t work at the evidence warehouse.
