Norfolk County sheriff’s deputy hit with ethics violation

The state Ethics Commission found that Thomas Brady, an assistant deputy superintendent at the Norfolk County Sheriff’s Office, violated conflict of interest laws by having department plumbers perform free work at his home on four occasions in 2021 and 2022. The plumbers replaced a shower head, water heater, repaired a boiler, and replaced a circulator pump during their work hours without compensation, with Brady allegedly giving them wine instead of payment. Brady’s actions were deemed coercive due to his position, and a public hearing on the allegations will be held, with potential penalties of up to $10,000 per violation.
