Trooper who was given award by MADD now under investigation for police abuse and perjury
Via the agitator: a Massachusetts state trooper who was given the "drive for life" award by MADD for her aggressive DUI arrests is now under investigation for police brutality and for lying on the stand.
Trooper Kathleen T. Carney was stripped of her service weapon and cruiser last week after a Dec. 1 duty status hearing stemming from allegations of brutality in the drunken-driving arrest of a 35-year-old Quincy woman, Patricia J. Dooling, on the night of Aug. 28, according to sources.Testifying in a separate drunken-driving case against a 26-year-old Taunton man in Quincy District Court on Nov. 24, Carney was asked by a defense attorney whether she faced any potential disciplinary action, according to the attorney and sources.
Though the brutality investigation was ongoing, Carney denied it, said attorney Ed Sharkansky and two sources with direct knowledge of the case and investigation.
