List of Stoughton police corruption cases




By Adam Roberts


STOUGHTON – Going back to 2002, members of the Stoughton Police Department have been involved in crimes ranging from extortion to selling stolen goods.
The corruption cases have resulted in charges for two former sergeants and the police chief.
A 2008 FBI probe convicted a 30-year officer and snagged others for lying to federal agents.
Sgt. David M. Cohen was sentenced to 21/2 years in state prison for attempted extortion, witness intimidation and filing a false police report.

Cohen abused his police powers in attempting to collect a $10,000 debt owed to his friend by a businessman.
He went to prison from Aug. 27, 2007, to Oct. 13, 2009, until his conviction was overturned because of a jury selection error.
He was tried again on Feb. 22, 2011.
Chief Manuel J. Cachopa was found guilty of being an after-the-fact accessory to attempted extortion in January 2009. He was given three years probation for trying to cover up Cohen’s actions.
Detective Sgt. Anthony Bickerton Sr., a 30-year veteran, was convicted in 2010 for lying to the FBI and trying to hide evidence.
He served a year in jail for a 10-year criminal relationship with an informant during which he took more than $30,000 worth of stolen electronics. The informant said Bickerton later sold the goods at reduced prices.
Detective Arlindo Romeiro received three years of supervised probation and $3,000 in fines for lying to FBI investigators.
He reportedly got involved with Bickerton, purchasing a stolen plasma TV.
