A federal judge agreed last week to bar Rep. Chris Flanagan, a Dennis Port Democrat facing fraud charges, from gambling, incurring credit card charges that would bring his balance over $5,000, or opening any additional lines of credit over the same amount without prior approval.

Authorities arrested Flanagan in April on accusations that he stole tens of thousands of dollars from a former employer, covered up the thefts, and then used the money to pay personal bills. He pleaded not guilty and was released on the condition that he stay employed or seek a new job.

But in a July 22 court document, lawyers working under U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts Leah Foley urged a judge to impose updated conditions of release that target gambling and credit card usage.

“The government believes that certain conditions related to the defendant’s finances are necessary in this case,” federal prosecutors said in the document. “The government has conferred with the counsel for the defendant regarding the addition of certain financial conditions, and the parties agree (to the new conditions).”

A spokesperson for Foley declined to comment.

Greg Henning, a lawyer representing Flanagan, said the restrictions on gambling and credit card usage were part of the original terms and conditions of Flanagan’s release but were only recently filed by prosecutors.

Federal prosecutors earlier this year alleged that Flanagan shuttled tens of thousands of dollars from a trade group he once worked for into his bank account as he faced personal financial difficulty, including outstanding credit card debt, missed mortgage payments, and hundreds of dollars in bank overdraft fees.

Flanagan is paid just over $82,000 a year as a state lawmaker and earns tens of thousands more in “other pay” because of the committees he sits on, according to state payroll records. He was previously the executive officer of the Home Builders and Remodelers Association of Cape Cod.

But court records said he maintained “low, and at times negative, daily bank balances in his Bank of America account.”

Lawyers for the federal government accused Flanagan of also using stolen money to pay for “personal psychic services” and fund his campaign account, according to court documents.

As part of his release, a judge initially ordered Flanagan to continue or actively seek employment, surrender any passport to probation officers, not obtain a new travel document, maintain his residence, and not move without prior permission, among other things.

Magistrate Judge Donald Cabell signed off on additional conditions last week that prohibit Flanagan from in-person gambling, simulcasting, horse wagering, online sports wagering, lotteries, or any other form of gambling, according to court documents.

He also cannot incur new credit card charges that would bring his balance over $5,000 or open additional lines of credit over $5,000 without the approval of his probation officer, court documents said.

Flanagan faced a wave of calls to resign when he was first charged with federal fraud. He has continued to serve as a state representative and has not said whether he plans to remain in his seat.

Top lawmakers running the Massachusetts House Ethics Committee plan to open an investigation into Flanagan’s conduct once his court proceedings wrap up.
