Former Watertown Police Sergeant Faces Charges of Using a Fake Prescription
The retired member of the police department allegedly tried to get prescription drugs from a Marlborough pharmacy with a forged prescription.
A retired Watertown police sergeant found himself in court facing charges that he forged a prescription to get drugs.
In December, Joseph F. Deignan, 58 of Framingham, was arrested for allegedly used a forged prescription for hydrocodone - a synthetic opioid used to relieve pain - at a pharmacy in Marlborough, said Middlesex District Attorney's office spokeswoman Stephanie Guyotte. Deignan retired from the Watertown Police Department last year.
Deignan appeared in Marlborough District Court last week for a pre-trial conference. He will be back in court on March 29, according to a report on Wicked Local Watertown.
The pharmacist at the CVS on East Main Street in Marlborough had been warned of people trying to pass false prescriptions, Guyotte said.

He will get away with just a slap on the wrist for this. While others would spend time in jail for doing the same thing. Joseph Deignan has a lot of pull. His father was a big contractor in both Watertown and Belmont Massachusetts. His Uncle was a Principal of the Coolege School in Watertown, Massachusetts for many years. His Grandfather owned a Home Rental and Sales Office in Belmont Massachusetts for many years. Joseph Deignan graduated from Watertown High School in 1974 and was also a bully in the school. He thought for many years that he was untouchable and with his connections he can get away with anything.
