Federal agents arrested a former MBTA police sergeant Thursday morning for allegedly falsifying police reports to cover for another officer who pleaded guilty to assaulting a man in July 2018. The case against David Finnerty, 47, of Rutland, pitted top brass at transit police against Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden, whose office was prosecuting Finnerty before dropping the charges last fall, just before it was scheduled to go to trial. Federal prosecutors indicted Finnerty on two counts of filing false reports.
