\"Dockery\"<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Bobo sends us a link to the Stars & Stripes<\/a> which tells the story of Dennis Dockery, an Army Reserve Lieutenant Colonel and a corrections officer in Connecticut. While he was on active duty from 2009 to 2012, he was incarcerated in the Leavenworth correction barracks by the Army for smacking women around and adultery. <\/p>\n

Dockery altered paperwork with his civilian job to make it appear as if he was working at his Army job at Leavenworth instead of being a prisoner of the system.<\/p>\n

As a military reservist, Dockery was still on the state payroll and entitled to a portion of his state salary while activated for Operation Iraqi Freedom.<\/p>\n

He was not entitled to any salary while serving time in a military prison, but forged his orders so that it appeared he was serving at Fort Leavenworth rather than incarcerated, according to the warrant. <\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

A military judge convicted Dockery of two counts of adultery, assault by battery, and two counts of engaging in a prohibited relationship. He was sentenced to 17 months of confinement at Leavenworth and thrown out of the Army. He also lost his Army retirement benefits.<\/p>\n

After his release from Leavenworth, Dockery returned to Connecticut and went back to work at the Department of Correction. Late last year, human resources staff at the department got a tip about Dockery’s prison sentence at Leavenworth and began investigating.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, it was a tip that got him busted, not the bureaucracies talking to each other. He only benefited about $5000 from the scam – it hardly seems worth the penalty he faces now. <\/p>\n

May 25,the case was turned over to investigators in the Chief State’s Attorney’s Office, who prepared an arrest warrant that was signed Tuesday. DOC fired Dockery May 27. He was scheduled to retire June 1.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
