An NYPD lieutenant is accused of defrauding taxpayers by using a city-owned car to commute to work, avoiding tolls and congestion pricing. Lt. Joseph Abdelmessih allegedly drove his personal Mercedes-Benz to a Staten Island outpost and then used a department-owned Ford Taurus for his downtown Manhattan office.
An NYPD supervisor allegedly put taxpayers on the hook for $20,000 in tolls by ditching his new Mercedes Benz at a department outpost on Staten Island and using a city-owned car to get to work, The Post has learned.
He then signed in at the Youth Strategies Division at 1 Teleport Drive as if he was working, before hopping behind the wheel of a department-owned black Ford Taurus for the ride into his real office at 90 Church St. in downtown Manhattan, according to the Jan. 23 complaint. When Perry became aware of the officer’s conduct, she distributed a memo to all supervisors banning the practice of signing into work at other locations, according to the complaint.
