Description

I posted a complaint about a car speeding down Mt Vernon and through the crosswalk onto Forest Street last night. I was luckily not in the crosswalk but the car didn't even slow down and absolutely would have hit a pedestrian if someone was in the crosswalk. Malden PD had an SUV parked in the cemetery entrance across the street, seemingly for instances just like this.

Lt Tuxbury closed and blocked my ticket for "unsubstantiated" claims. My only claim was that there was a car speeding through a crosswalk right in front of a police car and nothing happened.

I was pretty upset and sad at Malden PD's reaction this morning but decided to take no further action. I'm adding this ticket as I see now that Tuxbury is being rude elsewhere on this site so I figured I'd add to the list, since I cannot comment on that other open ticket.

To Lt Tuxbury: Not everyone feels safe going to the police to report poor police behavior, which is why we come to this website and report anonymously.
