Medford Police Officer Gregory Hudson, most recently given probation and suspension for soliciting a prostitute, had previously been charged for assault and battery after "allegedly" (at least) choking his wife. She had bruises on her neck, yet his charges were "disposed" of after probation and 40 hours off of work. They kept a cop who commits crimes and they ended up with a cop who commits crimes.

Obviously Medford still keeps criminals on the force because again they are keeping Officer Hudson.
So what's new in Medford? Nothing noticeable.
