NAUGATUCK, CT Two independent investigation into the racist social media posts by the daughter of Naugatuck Police Chief Steven Hunt has cleared the chief of any wrongdoing, the department announced Friday.
A 43-page report by the Rocky Hill-based law firm Karsten & Tallberg, LLC, and another report by Hartford-based law firm Michelson, Kane, Royster & Barger, P.C., both conclude that Hunt did not previously know of the racist messages, nor did he do anything in the capacity of his job to facilitate them.
NAUGUATUCK, CT (WFSB) â The Borough of Naugatuck and Naugatuck Police Department announced on Friday that an independent investigation into racially charged social media posts by the police chiefâs daughter has been completed.
In January, it was announced that multiple investigations were underway after racist and violent social media messages surfaced that were allegedly written by Chief Steven Huntâs daughter.
The mayor of Naugatuck said the comments were made two years ago, but were just brought to light in January.
One of the posts said, âIâll make my dad drive with lights and sirens and if we see any black people we will shoot them.â
