"Officer is acquitted in assault, threat case; Ruling cites video of Framingham sergeant’s actions" by Megan McKee, Globe Correspondent / March 26, 2011
After a two-week trial, Framingham police Sergeant Scott Brown was found not guilty Wednesday in Lowell Superior Court of assault with a dangerous weapon and threatening to commit a crime.
Prosecutors said Brown threatened and pointed a gun at a storage facility worker after the worker’s wife confronted him for urinating on the facility’s lawn.
Judge Paul Chernoff wrote in his conclusion that Brown could have avoided the whole criminal matter had he “used available public facilities rather than trespass deep into private property,’’ and could have deescalated the situation.
“Rather than demonstrating patience and civility, he yielded to the emotions of the moment,’’ Chernoff wrote.....
Translation: He was an a**hole.
Middlesex District Attorney Gerry Leone alleged that on April 29, 2010, Brown was working in plainclothes and in an unmarked car when a woman saw him urinating on private property.
And if he did that on yours?
When she asked him what he was doing, Brown allegedly told her to “stop looking,’’ the district attorney’s office said.
The woman’s husband approached Brown and his partner, who by then were in their car, and asked them what they were doing....
Hey, SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING!!!
