SHERBORN – Former Sherborn Police Chief Richard Thompson said the allegations used against him by the town to fire him in October have made him “unemployable” to ever work in law enforcement again.
“This has been an extremely trying experience,” said Thompson on Friday. “I’ve dealt with and fought cancer twice in my life. Without question, this was far more taxing on myself and my family, my friends and my colleagues. I’ve never been more uncomfortable, sick to my stomach, embarrassed belittled.”
Through his attorney Joseph Sulman, Thompson filed a lawsuit in Middlesex Superior Court earlier this month against the town of Sherborn, Town Administrator David Williams, Interim Police Chief David Bento, the then-members of the Selectboard who terminated his contract – Jeff Waldron, Charles Yon, George Morrill and Paul Derenis – as well as an attorney hired by the town, Maura Gallagher.
