Concord Cop Joins PC Suit Against Foxboro PD

An officer with the Concord Police Department has joined a federal class action lawsuit against the Foxboro Police, alleging the department’s practice of holding Gillette Stadium patrons in protective custody.

  When it comes to intoxication, there’s tipsy and then there’s incapacitated. And that distinction appears to be the root of a lawsuit brought by around 1,000 people, including a Concord Police officer, against Foxboro and its police chief.  In a highly publicized class action lawsuit filed against Foxboro Police Chief Edward O’Leary and the town, about 1,000 people are alleging they were unlawfully held in protective custody.

VIDEO: Patriots Capitalize on Turnovers in Superbowl Win Over OA Tigers

Tigers commit four turnovers in 42-9 loss to Concord-Carlisle during the Division 3 Eastern Mass Championships Saturday at Gillette Stadium.

  In one play, all of the momentum shifted towards Concord-Carlisle’s direction.

The quick touchdown helped the sixth ranked C-C football team cruise to a 42-9 victory in the Eastern Massachusetts Division 3 Super Bowl Saturday morning at Gillette Stadium. “That gave us a lot of momentum,” Craan said about the Patriots’ start. “Our guys stayed focused.

The CCHS Patriots are Division 3 Superbowl Champions!

Concord Carlisle trounces Oliver Ames 42-9.

  It was a storied finish to an undefeated 13-0 season. The first couple plays of the game appeared shaky, but the Patriots quickly found their footing, putting up 21 points in the first half. The OA Tigers earned their first 3 points of the game on a field goal early on, while the Patriots continued to outplay their opponents in virtually every capacity. OA scored once again with just a few minutes left in the fourth quarter, but interceptions from Will Blumenberg and Henry Bumpus — Bumpus scoring on the first play following his interception — as well as four touchdowns from George Craan and another from Tyquan Culbreath over the duration of the game kept the Patriots ahead of the Tigers with a comfortable margin all morning. Today's 42-9…
