BOSTON (CBS/AP) — The former executive director of the Chelsea Housing Authority who pleaded guilty to charges of trying to hide his inflated salary from state and federal authorities has been sentenced to three years in prison.

Michael McLaughlin was sentenced Wednesday in federal court in Boston.

U.S. District Attorney Carmen Ortiz said afterward, she was pleased the Chelsea Housing Authority had an opportunity to be heard.

McLaughlin pleaded guilty in February to under-reporting his salary in annual housing authority budgets from 2008 to 2011 and submitting the false figures to state and federal regulators.
