BERKLEY — A Plymouth County Grand Jury indicted a Berkley man June 25 on charges of conflict of interest (financial interest), conflict of interest (gratuities), two counts of procurement fraud and three counts of larceny over $250 according to Attorney General Martha Coakley.

Mendes, 50, a lieutenant in the special operations division of the Massachusetts Department of Correction, has been indicted for allegedly using his position as a purchasing agent to steer money for his own financial gain, Coakley said.

“It’s interesting it’s taken about two years to come up with these charges,” said Mendes’s attorney Timothy Burke. “My client has been employed at the DOC for over 20 years. He has cooperated in every aspect. He has an unblemished disciplinary record and no criminal history. We intend to litigate to the fullest defense of the law.”
