Veteran Police Officer Indicted By Feds In Insurance Scheme

A Homer police officer with a history of questionable behavior has been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges he defrauded an insurance company through a bogus claim. The three-count indictment unsealed Wednesday charges Donald W. Malray with one count of mail fraud conspiracy and two counts of mail fraud. This is not the first time Malray, who has served as the department’s assistant chief during a nearly 30-year career, has been indicted by a federal grand jury. In 2003, he was indicted on two counts of perjury after the government alleged he lied while testifying in a Claiborne Parish man’s federal drug trial.
