This is a recent letter from Attorney Hennessey representing Ashland Police Sergeant Edward Pomponio. It is written to the Ashland Town Manager and Police Commissioner, Anthony Schiavo. This letter highlights the many issues in the Ashland Police Department and the curious and allegedly unfair treatment of Sergeant Pomponio. Everyone should find this VERY interesting reading.
This letter is a recent complaint by Attorney Hennessey about a citizen's complaint of fireworks at an Ashland residence owned by Officer Michael Dionne's brother at 7 Endicott on July 4th where repeated calls by a neighbor were ignored by the Ashland Police.
