Overview
- Prosecutors charged Kevin Dorgan with larceny over $1,200 following an investigation that led to his arrest and arraignment in Malden District Court, and he pleaded not guilty.
- Investigators say a review of the city’s Amazon business account found about 700 items bought between 2020 and 2026 that were sent to Dorgan’s City Hall office and his home.
- Officials report roughly $98,000 in alleged personal purchases that included electronics, clothing, bedding and razors, and matching goods were found in his office, his home and a rented storage unit.
- City employees discovered many unopened packages after Dorgan was fired in March 2026, which prompted the inventory and criminal probe that produced the charges.
- Dorgan was released with conditions barring contact with City Hall and city employees and is due back in court on Oct. 22; the case raises questions about municipal purchasing controls and potential city steps on oversight and restitution.
