"Mass. State Police Scandal: Bribery, Revoked Licenses, and Dishonorable Discharges"
Massachusetts State Police sergeant Gary Cederquist has been dishonorably discharged and retired amid a commercial driver’s license bribery scandal, where he and five others are charged with giving CDLs to unqualified applicants in exchange for kickbacks. The troopers are accused of conspiring to give preferential treatment to at least 17 CDL applicants and making false reports for four Class A CDL applicants who were MSP troopers. The state police have taken steps to improve accountability and efficiency in response to the investigation, and the case remains ongoing.
