Stoughton Police Investigate Check-Fraud Incident at Local Sherwin-Williams Store

A Stoughton Sherwin-Williams store on Washington Street is at the center of an investigation by the local police department. However, accessible source material does not verify a related police incident, date, photographs or public request for help.

The investigation comes amid a stretch of public outreach from Stoughton Police, who have issued multiple requests for help identifying suspects in local commercial and property crimes over the past few weeks.

According to Hoodline reporting, Deputy Chief James O'Connor was named acting police chief in July after Chief Donna M. McNamara stepped away from her duties. He joined the department in 1999 and previously led its Detective Bureau.
