Michael E. McLaughlin, former executive director of the Chelsea Housing Authority, was ordered to serve 12 months in prison and pay a fine following his conviction for conspiring to defraud the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, officials said Friday. McLaughlin, 68, of Dracut, is currently serving a three-year sentence for falsifying records to conceal his $360,000 salary, US Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz said in a statement. In addition, he will serve the 12 months and pay a $3,000 fine for rigging the inspection process for federally funded housing units. McLaughlin conspired from 2006 to 2011 to repair units in advance of inspections, the statement said."
