Marblehead Police Officer Timothy Tufts has resigned in the wake of allegations that he scratched a swastika into the paint of another officer’s vehicle. In mid-November, I was made aware of an incident involving a Marblehead Police officer in which they allegedly scratched a swastika into the paint of another officer s personal vehicle,” said Police Chief Robert Picariello in a prepared statement. I immediately began to gather the facts of the incident, and the officer was placed on administrative leave pending an investigation, consistent with the policies and procedures of the department.”
