“According to US Attorney Gary S. Shapiro, Timothy J. Veit was caught creating 122 bogus drunk driving arrests in an effort to boost the police department’s revenue with federal overtime payments. Between 2009 and 2012, the effort generated $132,893 in bogus payments.  The source of the funds was the US Transportation Department, which funnels federal gas tax dollars through the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) to bankroll traffic ticket-writing blitzes that typically take place on holiday weekends.  City officials discovered the discrepancy in March 2012 and allowed Veit, who is 55, to retire in April.”
