Instead of paying for plumbers, a Norfolk County Sheriff’s Office employee used his position to get free work at his home, according to the state Ethics Commission’s Enforcement Division.

Thomas Brady, a deputy deputy superintendent of jail operations for the Norfolk County Sheriff’s Office, is accused of violating the conflict of interest law on multiple occasions because employees of the sheriff’s office’s maintenance department performed free plumbing work at his home in during and outside of their state work. hours.

Officials allege that four times between 2021 and 2022, Brady had plumbers from the sheriff’s office perform work on his home, including replacing a shower head, replacing the water heater and repairing the boiler.
