Weymouth man admits collecting $40,000 in unemployment while in jail

WEYMOUTH – A Weymouth man was given a suspended sentence of two years in jail for fraudulently collecting more than $40,000 in unemployment benefits while in jail.
Colin Glynn, 45, pleaded guilty Thursday to 64 counts of unemployment fraud and one count of larceny over $250. Suffolk Superior Court Judge Peter Krupp suspended the sentence for a three year probationary term and ordered Glynn to pay $28,496 in restitution and complete 200 hours of community service.
Prosecutors said that Glynn applied for and began receiving unemployment benefits after losing a job in December 2010.
While in jail from May 2011 to September 2012, Glynn conspired to steal tens of thousands of dollars in unemployment benefits. During his incarceration, Glynn, or someone acting on his behalf, falsely certified his unemployment claims by notifying the Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development’s Department of Unemployment Assistance that he was not working and available for work.
The matter was referred to the Attorney General’s Office for prosecution following an anonymous tip.
