CHICOPEE, Mass. (WGGB) — A Chicopee Police officer has been suspended after he was caught in bed with a teenager.


Officer Michael Gendron, 43, was found in bed with a 17-year-old girl by her mother. A restraining order has been filed against Gendron, and he is prohibited to go near the teenager’s home, school, and workplace.
The family’s attorney, Daniel Kelly, has confirmed the relationship was going on when the teenager was 16-years-old. Detectives are now working to find out if the relationship started before then — before the legal age of consent.
Gendron is on administrative leave until the investigation is complete. He will appear before Mayor Kos for final disciplinary action.
