James Meloy, an air-pollution inspector with the Department of Environmental Protection, has agreed to a one-month suspension that will cost him $5,228 for using a government gas card to fill his daughter’s car on 10 occasions.
Meloy scored $200 worth of free fuel with his department-issued card from January 2013 through April 2014, according to the Conflicts of Interest Board, which imposed the punishment.
Now he’ll be docked more than 25 times as much. He’ll also be on probation for two years.

He included himself on the seven-day trip paid by the Colombian government.
