An attorney for Worcester Police Officer Colby Turner is claiming his arrest on larceny charges was in retaliation for Turner reporting departmental improprieties, according to court documents.
Turner stands accused of stealing $45,000 of off-duty assignment pay for details he did not work. He has pleaded not guilty to five counts of larceny over $1,200 and a misdemeanor count of submitting false claims for reimbursement.
