A longtime Warwick Township police officer who is now the chief of a small Lebanon County department has been charged with falsifying overtime records, resulting in nearly $39,000 in erroneous reimbursements to his municipality.
Michael T. Burdge Sr., 43, of Lebanon, told investigators that he filled out bogus overtime claims for his officers in 2008 and 2009 so he could hire additional police and buy equipment for the Annville Township Police Department.
