Medford sergeant gets probation after alleged domestic dispute

A Medford Police sergeant who was accused last year of hitting a woman during a dispute on a city street has been placed on departmental probation, will be required to undergo 10 days of training, and must stay away from the plaintiff in the case, officials said.
The recommendation, made by Budget and Personnel Director Stephanie M. Burke and submitted to Mayor Michael J. McGlynn Tuesday, does not specify what type of training Sergeant James Lee must undertake, saying only that the course be selected by Medford Police Chief Leo A. Sacco Jr.
“What happened shouldn't have happened,†Sacco said in a phone interview, and said that in terms of Lee’s history with the department, this was an isolated incident amid an otherwise unblemished – if not exemplary record. Lee, a 16-year veteran of the department who was promoted to sergeant in 2001, has received several commendations from police and accolades from citizens for his service.

EX GIRLFRIEND ALLEGES THAT THE VICTIM OF SGT. LEE, HER BISEXUAL EX, WAS MENTORED BY STEPHANIE MUCCINI BURKE.
IF SO, WHY WAS BURKE THE HEARING OFFICER IN THE SGT. JIM LEE CASE???
NOTE: SGT. LEE IS THE BROTHER OF THE LATE RICHARD LEE, THE BUDGET DIRECTOR STEPHANIE BURKE REPLACED. Richard Lee was the best friend of the City Solicitor, and when you do the math, you see why Sgt. Lee got off with only probation.
THE PHOTOGRAPHS FROM THE HOSPITAL EXIST. WE HAVE THEM!
If this becomes an issue during campaign 2015 we'll release the photos, but not at this time.
