Probe ends of Mass. cop's alleged slur of Crawford
LEOMINSTER, Mass.—Officials in Leominster plan to announce the findings of their probe into whether an off-duty city officer directed a racial slur at Red Sox outfielder Carl Crawford during a minor league game.
Mayor Dean Mazzarella told the Telegram & Gazette that he'll discuss the investigation Wednesday morning.
The officer, who is white and a five-year veteran of the force, was placed on desk duty after the alleged July 5 incident. He hasn't been named by police.
The officer is accused of calling Crawford a "monday" while Crawford was rehabilitating his wrist with a Red Sox minor league affiliate, the Portland Sea Dogs, in Manchester, N.H. The word, allegedly used while the man taunted Crawford from the stands, can be used as a derogatory term for blacks.
