"Former officer is convicted of extortion
A former Lowell police officer has been found guilty of intimidating a bookie into forgiving his gambling debt. Prosecutors say David Annis, 33, was convicted yesterday by a judge of extortion, keeping a place for registering bets, unauthorized access to a computer system, and unlawfully obtaining criminal offender records. The Middlesex district attorney’s office requested a three- to four-year prison sentence, but a judge fined Annis $12,000.
No jail time?
Authorities say Annis ran up $5,000 in debt to a Westford bookmaker. When they met to settle the debt, Annis showed his badge and suggested he was investigating gambling cases. He told the bookmaker he wouldn’t be arrested, and the money was not paid. Annis’s lawyer did not immediately return a call (AP)."
But they did return it?
