re: Nakamoto: Ghost employee of Pointe Coupee S.O paid for 12 yrs, no record of any work done

It is odd that they used Baton Rouge at all when looking for an example.

Probably because WBRZ is a Baton Rouge station and most of the readers would find it easier to understand. Or because choosing and ending place out of state sounds more drastic.

No way this happens in small town Louisiana.

Not a lot of miles. Seriously.

201 per day if for 18 months.

I'm more interested in what they were doing.

I thought the same thing at first.. there was a time when I was putting this kind of mileage on a company vehicle, so it doesn’t seem outrageous to think a cop could do the same. But I found this quote interesting:

quote:

"I did look at the gas receipts and it was a tremendous amount of fuel purchased," Joffrion said. "For that vehicle, a whole lot more, three times more than what an average patrolman uses. Most were outside the parish."

---

1. I wouldn’t expect someone doing undercover work to put more miles on their vehicle than someone on patrol.

2. If most of the gas receipts were outside of the parish, it seems like that would raise red flags for a sheriff’s deputy. The only obvious reason I can think of would be if he lives pretty far from Pointe Coupee and commutes every day - in which case, you would expect to see a lot of gas receipts for stops between his home and New Roads. But if that’s what’s going on, it’s pretty disingenuous to leave that detail out.

On the other hand, if his “official duties” were taking him all over the state.. that seems odd for a cop with no jurisdiction outside of Pointe Coupee.

That’s false. Unless they were flying the truck back to Baton Rouge. He only could have gone halfway to Mobile every day and back if he was going to do it again.

quote:

With the amount of mileage that was on the truck, the WBRZ Investigative Unit did the math and found this employee could have driven every day from Baton Rouge to Mobile, Alabama

---

Comprehension isn’t your strong suit, is it? It doesn’t say to mobile and back. It isn’t saying he drove to mobile. It is saying that the mileage from Baton Rouge to mobile is equal to what would need to be driven daily. The truck wasn’t stationed in Baton Rouge anyway...that we know of.

Probably.

I seem to remember the last check for every employee in the parish was held until someone came to claim it.

A lot were never claimed, far more than known Katrina victims IIRC.
