Overview
- The state Peace Officer Standards and Training Commission suspended Officer Jackson W. Dwyer’s certification this week, which is required to work as a police officer in Massachusetts.
- Natick police had already placed Dwyer on paid administrative leave and opened an internal investigation that runs alongside Holliston’s criminal probe.
- Dwyer pleaded not guilty Monday in Framingham District Court and was released on $500 bail with orders to avoid the woman and possess no dangerous weapons, and his lawyer says she has recanted.
- Holliston police say a dispute at the couple’s Holliston home on Saturday, April 25, escalated when Dwyer pushed his fiancée onto a couch and pressed her head into a cushion with a pillow.
- Investigators seized nine pistols and six rifles from the home and suspended Dwyer’s license to carry, and court records list May 22 as the next hearing date.
