A federal grand jury in Boston indicted former postal fraud inspector Scott Kelley on wire fraud, mail fraud, and money laundering for allegedly using his position to steal over $330,000 from elderly victims of telemarketing scams. Prosecutors say from 2019 to 2023, Kelley had postal employees send him a total of 1,950 packages that had been flagged as containing cash from scam victims. He then opened the packages and stole the money, which he spent on a heated pool, Caribbean cruises, and sex with escorts during the workday.
Michael Hayes, a police detective in Lakeland, Florida, was arrested for falsely reporting a crime. Hayes said three juveniles threw an object and shattered the rear window of his unmarked agency-issued SUV while he was driving. But deputies later found a picture of his car, with the window damaged, taken 24 hours before the reported incident. Hayes, a 12-year veteran assigned to the property crimes unit, then admitted his child likely broke the window with a baseball.
