I-Team obtains Brian Walshe booking photos from 2018 arrest
LYNN - The WBZ I-Team obtained booking photos Friday of Brian Walshe that were taken at the Lynn Police Department moments after federal agents raided his Lynn home on May 9, 2018.
Armed with a search and arrest warrant, police went into the Essex Street condominium that Brian owned with his wife Ana Walshe at 6 a.m.
Agents were looking for evidence of wire fraud involving stolen Andy Warhol paintings and the sale of fake art.
Walshe was brought to the Lynn police station for what is called a courtesy booking before agents took him into federal custody. There he was photographed and put into the system.
In 2021, Walshe pleaded guilty to those charges and has been awaiting sentencing.
He was released from custody on home confinement with an electronic monitoring bracelet. It was not equipped with GPS tracking, which it made it more difficult for state and Cohasset police to retrace his steps in the days after he reported his wife Ana missing last week.
Walshe is now charged with misleading investigators and is being held in jail on $500,000 bail.
On Saturday, Cohasset Police released his booking photo from his arrest last Sunday, January 8.
