BOSTON — A former Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority worker has pleaded guilty to stealing more than $450,000 from bus and trolley fare boxes.
The Associated Press reports that Stephen Fagerberg, 55, was caught when investigators planted marked bills in fare collection boxes Fagerberg was supposed to service. Those bills then ended up in his personal bank account.
Fagerberg was sentenced in Suffolk Superior Court to six months in jail, with the balance of a two-year sentence suspended for two years. He was also given two years of probation and ordered to pay $458,694 in restitution.
