Overtime of his life for JFK cop: Bags 30G in 16 days

The New York Post reports:

Port Authority Police Department Sgt. John Farrell recently raked in a mind-boggling $30,000 in just 16 days while working for the cash-starved agency at Kennedy Airport -- thanks to 227 hours of overtime, PAPD insiders told The Post.

Farrell averaged 16 hours of OT a day -- at a minimum rate of $108.10 per hour.

So he ended up earning more than $25,000 in OT alone, on top of his regular weekly pay of about $2,400.

Incredibly, when Farrell's boss, Inspector Kenneth Honig, 56, the PAPD's commanding officer at JFK, was called on the carpet about the exorbitant tab, he allegedly dismissed it by questioning why his higher-ups even cared -- since the federal government was handling the bill, the sources said.

"Yeah, I authorized it, but so what? The feds are paying," Honig purportedly said.

Nice people to do business with!
