"Members of law enforcement are expected to uphold the law, not violate it," said Acting United States Attorney Joshua S. Levy in a statement.

Evans, a 42-year veteran of the Boston Police Department, was convicted of conspiracy to commit theft concerning programs receiving federal funds, and wire fraud, demonstrating a serious breach of trust in his role.
