Dunn will remain behind bars at the county jail in Dedham until he can be fitted with a device to monitor his whereabouts...

Robert Dunn, also of Quincy, testified he has never known his son to be abusive... [Quincy police Sgt. James McNeil] said when he knocked, Dunn came to the door with blood on his face and shirt.

  1. Last summer in Toohig Park on Gallivan Blvd. in Dorchester Trooper Dunn physically assaulted 2 fifteen year old girls, grabbing them by their necks and slamming them up against the basketball court fence. He proceeded to berate them verbally, calling them assholes, losers and f-ing retards. He told them he was going to ruin their f-ing lives. Both girls were within blocks of their homes and well within their curfews. Internal affairs "investigated" and exonerated Dunn of any wrongdoing. It seems his violence against females has resurfaced in the incident with his girlfriend. His father is a retired Lt. Colonel with the State Police. They will no doubt attempt to make him the victim and her the aggressor and try to save his job. Both parents of the girls who were assaulted do not want to see that happen and will come forward. I can be reached at djdnmc@verizon.net and I am the father of one of the girls involved. We are disgusted by Dunn and the State Police response.

  4. Anyone interested in knowing the truth about this incident should google Jennifer Garvey, an MBTA police offer and the girlfriend/alleged victim in this case.

    Ms. Garvey has numerous criminal charges against her relating to violence. These include; domestic violence involving gun play, civil rights violations/police brutality, an arrest at country fest for assault and battery and she done a stint at McLean Hospital for PTSD related trauma.

    We can hope she finds the treatment she needs having served our country in the military; but there is no need to take down a decorated and dedicated police officers in the wake.

    Google and make up your own mind.

      So because her father is not a retired Lt. Colonel for the MSP that can make things disappear or redirect blame, she all of a sudden is not a victim of this trooper that has numerous excessive force complaints and hides behind daddy every time? I bet daddy mows this guys yard and does his laundry for him too.
