"Ex-officer charged with fraud over tuition
A former police officer on a disability pension has been arrested on charges he fraudulently obtained free tuition for his children at the University of Rhode Island. State Police said Keith Heroux, 52, of North Smithfield, allegedly took advantage of a state program that provides free tuition to the families of police officers injured in the line of duty and can no longer work as a police officer or at another continuous job. State Police said Heroux worked as a lawyer while collecting $42,458 in tuition assistance for a son and a daughter. He had signed an affidavit that he was not employed (AP)."
