Boston police officer pleads guilty to not reporting winnings to IRS

[Demovictory9]

The Boston Police officer who agreed earlier this month to plead guilty to his failure to report gambling winnings on his tax returns has done so.

Dana Lamb, 57, of Roslindale pleaded guilty to one count of filing a false document with the Internal Revenue Service.

Lamb won $10,000 on a Massachusetts lottery scratch ticket in May 2020, as the Herald previously reported. He then sold the ticket for $7,500 in cash to a convenience store owner who in turn sold it to an unnamed person who redeemed it with the state. Lamb didn’t report the $10,000 in winnings and owes $1,800 in back taxes.

Lamb was placed on administrative leave for the crime, the department told the Herald earlier this month. Lamb is scheduled for sentencing on June 30, where he could see up to a year in prison, a year of supervised release and a fine of $10,000.

2. LOL. Yes, it is. I wonder if the store keeper talked him into something.

if he cashed the ticket he would have cleared (10,000 - 1800 fed, 180 state) = approximately $8000.
