FALL RIVER — Convicted former Fall River police officer Nicholas Hoar self-surrendered to the Bureau of Prisons on Wednesday and was assigned to the Federal Correctional Institution Elkton in Ohio to serve a 33-month sentence for assaulting a man in custody and lying on police reports about the incident.   

With Hoar’s incarceration, this makes a fourth Fall River official to be sentenced to prison for on-the-job wrongdoing, and the third currently serving time in prison.  

Jasiel Correia II, 32, remains in a Kentucky federal prison after his 2021 conviction for defrauding investors in his start-up company SnoOwl and taking bribes from marijuana entrepreneurs while in office as the city’s youngest mayor.
