Officer Patrick – Newton Police Department

Written by CBKN76

In 2011, Officer Patrick was involved in an incident where he allegedly used excessive force against a citizen named Flowers. After a traffic stop, Officer Patrick reportedly rammed into the back of Flowers’s car, pulled him out, slammed him to the ground, kneed him in the back, and dragged him across the ground. Flowers sustained facial injuries and sought medical expenses and damages. The case highlighted concerns about the Town of Newton’s hiring, training, and supervision practices regarding Officer Patrick.
