HAZEL PARK, MI – A former Michigan police detective has been charged with multiple felonies, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced Wednesday.
Sean Boucher, 45, of Warren has been charged with conducting a criminal enterprise, embezzlement between $50,000 and $100,000 and five counts of embezzlement by a public official of more than $50. All charges are felonies that carry punishments that include prison time and hefty fines.
Boucher is accused of embezzling more than $65,000 in public asset forfeiture funds following an FBI investigation. Prosecutors say he used the money for his own personal use over the course of several incidents between 2013 and 2017.
