A Brockton couple was sitting at a stoplight late at night with their baby boy in the backseat when an SUV suddenly smashed into them. Behind the wheel of the vehicle that hit them? An off-duty Brockton police sergeantIt was after midnight on May 19 and Damian Dorsey’s shift at his warehouse job in Mansfield had just ended.
“It sounded like a bomb had gone off in our car,” Dorsey said. “The crash was so bad that the headrests came out of the seats. It gives me the chills.”The couple’s attention quickly turned to Beckham, who was crying in his car seat. Thankfully, it appeared that he’d avoided any serious injuries.According to the crash report, the force of the collision pushed the family’s vehicle forward about 300 feet through the intersection.
He quickly noticed the report said no witnesses at the scene provided a statement to police and the other driver had only received a minor citation for a crash that had totaled both vehicles.Growing suspicious, Dorsey looked up the other driver, Stanley David, and discovered he was a sergeant with Brockton police.
Donovan expressed concern about conflict of interest and Brockton police officers on the scene investigating one of their own. Police did not respond to our questions about what triggered the internal investigation or whether Sgt. David remained on active duty or administrative leave during the probe. They also did not answer a question about whether the department has a policy about referring incidents involving their officers to outside agencies to avoid a conflict of interest.
