A former Detroit police officer will do time for claiming phony overtime pay.
Kim Mosby-Colbert admitted in federal court Monday that she defrauded a program receiving federal money in a plea agreement that calls for a six-month prison sentence, reports Scott Lewis of WXYZ, who broke the story last year.
The 52-year-old ex-cop also could be ordered to pay nearly $30,000 in restitution and a fine of up to $250,000.
Mosby-Colbert, who worked at the Southwest District station, resigned after she was charged.
U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade says in a statement that the case should "let public servants know that they
will be held accountable for their conduct."
