BROCKTON – A Duxbury police officer has been indicted on charges that he allegedly falsified a police report and intimidated a witness during an investigation, Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy J. Cruz has announced.
51-year-old Steven J. Amado of Plymouth was indicted by a Plymouth County grand jury Friday on one count each of Misleading a Police Officer, Intimidation of a Police Officer, and False Crime Report.
The indictments allege that while investigating a traffic incident with property damage that occurred on May 6, Amado intentionally misidentified the operator of the motor vehicle.
