Brooklyn District Attorney Ken Thompson on Wednesday announced he has agreed to pay a $15,000 fine for improper meal expense payments.
The Conflicts of Interest Board says between January 2014 and May 2014, Thompson used more than $2,000 in office funds to buy food.
He repaid the money two months later.
But Thompson also used nearly $1,500 in office funds to purchase dinner and weekend meals from January 2014 to February of last year.
In some cases, investigators say he made his security detail use their own money to buy him food.
The District Attorney's office reimbursed the staff for nearly $2,000, but the report finds some of the payments were delayed.
A spokesperson for Thompson released a statement on his behalf saying, "I accept complete responsibility for this violation and regret that it occurred. As recognized by the Board, the Charter violation occurred in the early part of my term as the Kings County District Attorney, while I was focused primarily on organizing my Office and as new fiscal policies were being implemented."
