Followed by an article written after Bass received an email from Detective Mark Lounsbury; the crime prevention officer with the Norwich Police Department who testified for the prosecution.
The emails are flying around, Region 19 BOE Gazette was tipped off to this story:
(Norwich-AP, Dec. 20, 2001 12:40 PM) A Norwich police detective has admitted to drinking beer while driving a minor around the city on a sting targeting alcohol sales to underage drinkers.
That’s according to a report in today’s Day of New London newspaper.
Detective Mark Lounsbury, who drove the police van used in the undercover sting operation on November 30th made the admission last week to Deputy Chief Warren Mocek, the newspaper reported.
Mocek is overseeing an investigation into a misconduct complaint against Lounsbury and Lieutenant James Daigle.
A 20-year-old woman claims Daigle photographed her topless while she was working for the department in the same sting operation.
What a cast of characters.
