OFFICER RAMONA?

April 25, 2007

The Justice Department yesterday announced that a Washington DC Metropolitan Police Department officer has been indicted on tax charges. That's pretty ho-hum. But this passage of the press release caught my eye:

According to the indictment, Irving earned wages from the MPD in the amount of $155,211 in 2002, $152,153 in 2003, $136,962 in 2004 and $181,913 in 2005. The indictment alleges that in 2002, Irving filed two false claims with the IRS seeking refunds to which he was not entitled, and failed to file tax returns and pay federal income taxes for 2003, 2004 and 2005.

A police detective can earn $181,913? Wow. That explains why the detectives on the TV shows always have such nice suits. Or maybe Archie Brooks and Ramona Cunningham have relatives in D.C. Government.
