The spokesman, Officer James Kenneally, confirmed that federal investigators were involved in the probe and said he could not release additional details because the review is pending.

Officer Eddie B. Odney, who was most recently assigned to District B-3 in Mattapan, was placed on paid administrative leave Friday, according to a department spokesman.

A nine-year veteran of the Boston Police Department has been placed on leave pending the outcome of an anti-corruption investigation, authorities said Friday.

Representatives of the FBI and US Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz’s office declined to comment.

A call to a number listed for Odney, 37, was not returned on Friday night. His union president did not immediately return a call seeking comment late Friday.


Odney earned $183,818.24 in 2014, including $75,997 in paid details, according to city payroll records. He also received $28,228.76 in injury compensation, according to the records.

In July 2014, Odney was the subject of an internal affairs review dating back to May 2013, when he reported working 92 and 1/2 hours during a weeklong period, according to Police Department records.

The outcome of that case was not immediately clear on Friday night.

Odney was quoted in 2010 in a Boston Globe story about police officers playing basketball with city youths as part of an outreach effort.

“It’s a way to connect with the kids,’’ he said at the time. “Sports bring everyone together. It gives the kids a chance to see we’re human, too.”
