The former State Police Association of Massachusetts president and state lobbyist have been sentenced in federal court for a years-long “organized criminal enterprise” to defraud union members and the state and gain thousands in bribes and kickbacks, law enforcement officials announced Wednesday.

“Dana Pullman and Anne Lynch ran the Massachusetts State Police union like an old-school racket, siphoning money from troopers, deceiving the Commonwealth, hiding income from the IRS and then lying when they got caught,” said U.S. Attorney Leah Foley. “Their conduct was deliberate, sustained and corrosive. The men and women of the Massachusetts State Police deserve leaders who protect their interests, not exploit them.”

Dana Pullman, 64, of Worcester, and Anne Lynch, 75, of Hull, were each sentenced in U.S. District Court on Wednesday after being convicted on charges including racketeering, fraud, obstruction of justice and tax crimes in 2022. The pair were originally sentenced in May 2023, before having some convictions — including wire fraud and obstruction of justice — reversed in 2025 and their cases remanded for resentencing.

Pullman will serve two years in prison to be followed by one year of supervised release and pay $43,915 in restitution, Judge Richard Stearns ordered Wednesday. Lynch will serve 15 months in prison to be followed by one year of supervised release and pay $41,795 in restitution.

Boston IRS Criminal Investigation Special Agent Thomas Demeo called the case a “serious breach of public trust,” with the two exploiting their positions and betraying the “very people they were meant to serve.”

Pullman was president of the over 15,000-member State Police union from 2012 until his resignation in 2018, during which time Lynch worked as a lobbyist representing the union in exchange for monthly retainer payments.

During the six years, prosecutors said, the pair used their positions to capitalize on a racketeering enterprise defrauding the state, IRS and union members. Among the criminal conduct, the U.S. Attorney’s office said, were instances like a $20,000 kickback to Pullman in connection with a state settlement agreement.

Pullman also stole from the union on his own, the office said, using his position debit card to pay for items like a vacation to Miami and lunch of champagne and caviar in New York with his then-girlfriend.

“Former Massachusetts State Police Trooper and union boss Dana Pullman should know better than anyone: crime doesn’t pay,” said Boston FBI Special Agent in Charge Ted Docks. “Yet he joined forces with lobbyist Anne Lynch to run the State Police Association of Massachusetts like an organized criminal enterprise to rake in thousands of dollars in bribes and kickbacks for their own financial gain – at the cost of their integrity, careers, and freedom.”
