The son of a former Central Falls police officer is accused of collecting his father’s pension after his father and mother died, according to the Central Falls police.

Raymond J. Haskell, Jr., an attorney, is accused of fraudulently receiving $63,479.28 from the City of Central Falls since June 2014, according to a press release from the Central Falls Police Department.

Haskell turned himself over to police Thursday morning and will be charged with obtaining money under false pretenses, a felony; identity fraud, a felony; forgery, a felony; and giving false documents to a public official, a misdemeanor, the police said.
