State Police Payroll Chief Thought Retirement Looked Good When Heat Was On

The suspended payroll chief of the Massachusetts State Police applied for state pension benefits four days before an application for a criminal complaint for larceny was filed against her.

Denise Ezekiel, 49, of Holbrook, was suspended November 1, 2017, the same day a State Police major was assigned to investigate her. State Police say she filed for 29 fraudulent reimbursements totaling almost $24,000 over 15 months.
