New Orleans Officer Accused of Overtime Fraud | New Orleans News

A New Orleans police officer is under fire after allegedly pocketing over $111,000 in fraudulent overtime—claiming to review thousands of red-light camera tickets when evidence shows he barely worked 110 hours. Investigators caught him logged into systems without activity, reviewing tickets at impossible speeds, and submitting fake supervisor approvals. His attorney says he was working remotely and doing more than assigned. The case triggered a citywide audit, led to his arrest and unpaid leave, and prompted sweeping reforms—including biometric clocks and overtime approval rules—to slash departmental overtime spending.
