SCRANTON, Pa. — The City of Scranton Police Pension Board voted Wednesday to revoke a former patrolman turned federal convict’s disability pension.
The revocation of former Officer Paul Helring’s biweekly retirement stipend was based on Helring’s admission last year in federal court he took thousands of dollars of overtime for extra-duty shifts he never actually worked. The board did so in two votes citing a state forfeiture law and a city ordinance governing pensions.
