SPRINGFIELD — Former West Springfield police Capt. Daniel Spaulding eluded jail time Wednesday for stealing and then returning more than $17,000 from the evidence room.
Hampden Superior Court Judge Michael Callan rejected the recommendation of the state attorney general's office that Spaulding serve six months in jail, instead sentencing him to one year of probation.
Callan also declined to order Spaulding to pay fines or restitution, citing the testimony of Spaulding's former colleagues at trial.
