ATF Task Force Officer Charged with Theft of Government Money
Savannah, Ga. – Former ATF Task Force Officer Daryle McCormick has been arraigned on a charge that he fraudulently claimed to have worked approximately 800 hours of overtime resulting in more than $19,500 in additional wages.
"As a federal officer, McCormick was expected – at the very least – to obey the laws that he swore to enforce," said U.S. Attorney John Horn. "The indictment alleges McCormick violated the law and the trust placed in him by bilking the government out of almost $20,000 in overtime for hours he never worked."
The integrity of law enforcement is just as much, if not more, at the heart of these allegations as the monetary loss amounts are. The allegations contained in these charges are serious and the government’s response to those allegations reflects it," said J. Britt Johnson, Special Agent in Charge, FBI Atlanta Field Office.
The indictment alleges that from October 2010 to September 2013, McCormick engaged in a scheme to unlawfully commit overtime fraud by repeatedly submitting overtime payment requests to the ATF for hours that he never worked.
On August 31, 2015, Daryle McCormick, 47, of Pooler, Georgia, was charged via criminal information with Theft of Government Money. Members of the public are reminded that the information only contains charges. The defendant is presumed innocent of the charges and it will be the government’s burden to prove the defendant’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt at trial.
This case is being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
According to the indictment, from approximately October 18, 2010 to September 28, 2013, McCormick falsely claimed to have worked almost 800 hours in overtime when in fact, he had not worked those overtime hours. Based on those false overtime requests, the government paid McCormick more than $19,500 for overtime hours that McCormick never worked.
