Patrick McDowell pleaded guilty to killing Deputy Joshua Moyers on March 10, 2023. Eleven jurors voted for him to be put to death.
The Office of Inspector General investigated allegations that employees were doing maintenance on personal vehicles during work hours and falsely claimed overtime.3:02 PM EDT July 17, 2024JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A report released by the Office of Inspector General Tuesday showed Jacksonville solid waste employees received thousands of dollars in overtime pay that was"impossible to verify" due to a"pattern" of inconsistent documentation of work hours.
Two employees admitted to working on other employees' personal vehicles while at work, but claimed all the work was done during their breaks. The employees denied that they claimed more overtime than what was worked, and the solid waste superintendent who oversees their work hours, denied that he allowed employees to log time they didn't work.
The OIG received additional information during the investigation that suggested two additional solid waste truck drivers also falsely claimed overtime hours. The OIG found most of the reports filed between October 2022 and October 2023 were"incomplete or illegible and rarely signed by a supervisor," making it impossible to verify the hours worked by many solid waste employees, not just the ones under investigation.
