Complaints about harassment, verbal abuse and ethical concerns regarding a former Brimfield police officer and selectmen continued for years, leaving residents scared and concerned, newly released documents obtained by MassLive reveal.
The complaints detail how former police officer Ryan Olszta became “unusually agitated” during police stops and accused a small business owner of supporting “terroristic organizations,” which she said “put her in jeopardy during a time when our country was at a high state of insecurity.”
The complaints also note that Olszta discussed a child who was part of an investigation with town residents at a nearby Applebees. Olszta reportedly told the other residents that the child, who was a local Boy Scout, “is on heavy medications.”
