EAST ST. LOUIS • A police patrol sergeant was indicted in U.S. District Court on Tuesday on a charge of falsely filing for more than 200 hours of overtime between April 2017 and March 2018, resulting in his pay being increased by many thousands of dollars.

The indictment says Mario H. Fennoy, 48, was at home or at a secondary residence while reporting that he was out patrolling the streets of East St. Louis. He also falsely cleared 911 calls and falsely reported responding to dispatches, all while remaining at home, the indictment says.

According to a statement from U.S. District Court in the Southern District of Illinois, Fennoy received a base salary of $69,382 in 2017, but factoring in overtime, he received more than $205,000 in total wages.
