On June 19, John Earvin, former president of the United Federation of Law Enforcement Officers (UFLEO), pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York to wire fraud in connection with his theft of nearly $50,000 from the Bellerose, Long Island, N.Y.-based union. He had been arrested and indicted in March following an investigation by the U.S. Labor Department’s Office of Labor-Management Standards. Prosecutors had charged that Earvin had used his union ATM card to make hundreds of unauthorized cash withdrawals. UFLEO represents Special Inspectors for the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
