A review of Massiah’s work history discovered other off-duty details he documented that he claimed to have worked, but the agency could not find evidence that he physically did so, according to the department.

Massiah has been placed on administrative leave without pay, pending the outcome of both investigations while the department begins its own internal investigation.
