Veteran Officer Accused of Falsifing her Timecard

WASHINGTON

D.C. police are investigating whether a department firearms experts repeatedly falsified her timecards to get at least $100,000 in unearned pay.

Officials say that since at least 2005 the 23-year veteran officer recorded overtime on her timecard that she did not work and forged a supervisor's signature.

Assistant Police Chief Peter Newsham says the officer, whose name was not released, is on desk duty pending the results of the investigation and her police powers have been revoked.

Newsham says the U.S. attorney's office will determine whether to charge her with a crime.
