LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Three former police officers in Kentucky have avoided prison time for falsifying overtime records to collect pay for hours they didn’t work.
Former Louisville Metro police officers Brian Stanfield, Todd Roadhouse and Mark Final were sentenced Thursday to three years probation, news outlets reported. Each will also have to spend eight months of the sentence on a curfew.
Stanfield and Roadhouse were ordered to a 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew, but the curfew for Final would be set at a later date since his attorney said that his current job may require him to work overnight.
Authorities said the three submitted overtime requests for hours they did not work between 2014 and 2017. Prosecutors said the men covered up the overtime pay by altering arrest records. The former officers were ordered to pay back about $170,000 total in restitution after pleading guilty to federal wire fraud charges.
