New details are emerging about the search warrant that incited an investigation into the Fall River Police Department by the city’s councilors.
According to disciplinary records, Swansea police officer Connor Levesque, a onetime member of the Fall River Police Department, was suspended without pay for three days after it was discovered he was behind a fake account that was criticizing the department on Facebook.
On Nov. 18, “Timothy James” wrote, “Was it the [redacted] who supervises himself? Only person promoted and continued to supervise himself as a task force officer.”
This comment, along with 10 others identifying an officer — the son of Fall River Police Chief Kelly Furtado — as an undercover member of a federal task force, triggered the department to seek a search warrant to find the identity of “Timothy James.”
