2. Foxborough Police Chief Says Town Has Not Been Notified of Protective Custody Lawsuit

Foxborough Police Chief Edward O’Leary declined to comment on the class action lawsuit filed against him and the town for “improper” practice of protective custody during a Bruce Springsteen concert at Gillette Stadium in August. O’Leary’s reasoning for no comment was simple – he has not received any official notification of the lawsuit, which was filed in federal court Monday, according to a press release from the Law Offices of Howard Friedman P.C. in Boston.

“The town has not received the documentation of the suit,” O’Leary said. “It appears the lawyers have sent out a press release prior to notifying the community. I’m going to decline any comment about the allegations until we finally have some specific [information] on the matter.”
