Stephen Chaisson, an officer for 18 years, said in a letter of resignation dated Jan. 6, 2014, that he was resigning “due to an illness.” The city at the time refused to release records involving the circumstances of Chaisson’s resignation, saying only that he decided not to return to work after an extensive vacation. In fact, Chaisson had been on administrative leave, not vacation, while the city investigated the lewdness allegation that led to his resignation.
Two months after Chaisson resigned, the state Health Department hired him as director of compliance and investigations for its medical marijuana bureau. He held the job for two years, until Feb. 26, when a Boston television news station reported his resignation from the Newburyport police force came after a woman accused him of masturbating in his truck while he watched her at an ATM machine.
Chaisson initially denied the allegation during an internal affairs investigation, but agreed to take a lie detector test if the city agreed not to prosecute him. He failed the test, admitted to the allegations and resigned. He left the department on Nov. 22, 2013, and used vacation time to extend his resignation date until the following Jan. 6.
The details of Chaisson’s departure were unknown until WCVB Channel 5 won an order from the secretary of state directing the city to give the station records it sought under the Public Records Law.
The Health Department put Chaisson on leave on Feb. 11, the day before Channel 5 broadcast the story. He left the department on Feb. 26, but the department has refused to discuss his departure, including even to say whether he resigned or was fired.
Either way, Chaisson’s sudden departure leaves open the possibility that the Health Department did not know the events that led to his resignation from the Newburyport police force when it hired him, which would raise questions about its vetting process.
