"Man dies in Andover police custody
By Jim Patten
Eagle-Tribune Writer

ANDOVER -- A man held in the police station lockup died shortly after being arrested at his home this morning.

Police Chief Brian Pattullo said officers were called to a home at about 6:30 in response to a call for help. He declined to provide more details.

When they arrived, they arrested a man there after a minor altercation with the officers, Pattullo said.

He would not identify the man, what he was arrested for or where the arrest took place. Police would not release the log records of the incident.

Pattullo said the man was returned to the station and booked, and placed in a cell, and almost immediately suffered a medical problem.

"He put up a struggle but that doesn't appear to have led to this incident,'' Pattullo said.

Pattullo said Fire Department emergency medical technicians were summoned from the fire station next door, and they worked on the man before bringing him to Lawrence General Hospital, where he later died.

He said department regulations require prisoners in the cell block to be checked every 15 minutes, but said the man had not been in his cell that long.

Andover police and state police detectives assigned to the district attorney's office are investigating the incident."

Some of the cops that are involved in the armed robbery, and murder of Andover residents are:

EDitor's Comment: Andover Police Attempt to Circumvent Due Process and Abuse Civil Rights

#2Consumer Comment

Wed, March 31, 2004

Following the posting of this series of reports, the Andover police department contacted Rip-off Report and attempted to obtain the identity of the individuals who filed these reports.

The representatives of the police department lied and said that they needed the information so they could investigate the allegations and when I asked for additional details was told that this was a Homeland Security matter. I then told them that I would only deal with the FBI and reported this incident with the Andover police department to the FBI.

We believe that the Andover police crossed the line in their use of police deception in an attempt to abrogate the civil rights, of the individuals, who posted these reports, under the 4th, 5th and 14th Amendments of the US Constitution, and that the FBI has the responsibility to investigate these crimes.

Further, the abuse of the Homeland Security Act by the Andover Massachusetts police department was especially odious, because it further erodes the confidence in our US law enforcement entities to protect the very freedoms the Act was designed to assist them that protection detail.

The main reason I am even taking the time to bother with this announcement is because it is illustrative of what we are up against and to what lengths we will go to help and protect you. In this particular case, as is true with every case, we did NOT divulge the identity of the individuals who posted these reports.

We also want to communicate to you all that we would never divulge this information, even if served with a subpoena for the information because we believe that we have a special journalistic protection under the 1st Amendment of the US Constitution to protect our confidential sources of information and our repository for that information, we would be willing to go to jail opposing such an illegal subpoena.

Very Sincerely,
