Former D.C. Police Union Vice Chairman Sentenced for Time and Attendance Fraud Scheme
A former D.C. Police Union Vice Chairman has been sentenced for a brazen time and attendance fraud scheme that left the city and the Metropolitan Police Department out $33,845.59.
Medgar Webster Sr., 52, of Washington, D.C., pleaded guilty on May 15, 2023, in Superior Court to one count of first-degree felony fraud.
According to court documents, Webster engaged in unauthorized outside employment at three Whole Foods Market locations in Washington, D.C. between January 2021 and April 2022, while concurrently employed by MPD.
Webster never submitted the necessary administrative forms or received the proper authorizations, which are required by MPD, in part, to maintain records of an MPD member’s hours worked throughout the year.
Acting unchecked during this period, Webster stole more than $33,845 from MPD after billing MPD for regular, overtime and holiday hours that he never worked.
This double-billed time included submissions by Webster for 246.5 hours in overtime pay, at an adjustable hourly rate of $79.67 per hour.
Webster was ordered to pay full restitution to the District of Columbia for his crimes.
Superior Court Judge Errol Arthur sentenced Webster to six months in jail, suspended, 6 months of supervised probation, and 54 months of unsupervised probation.
