Thomas Brady, a former deputy sheriff in Norfolk County, was arrested on federal charges of extortion and bribery for allegedly forcing subordinate employees to perform home repairs without pay. Investigated by the Massachusetts State Ethics Commission, Brady violated conflict of interest laws by using department plumbers for personal gain. He faces multiple counts related to coercing workers into unpaid labor, including improper requests during work hours, which instilled fear in employees regarding their job security. His upcoming hearing could result in significant financial penalties for each infraction.
"He used his position as a deputy superintendent to order maintenance workers to perform repairs at his home during and after work hours without compensation."
"The U.S. Attorney's office said the worker feared if they refused the request, Brady would use his position to change their shift schedule, position, or employment."
