Former Methuen Police Chief Joseph Solomon and former Methuen Detective Sean Fountain have been indicted on multiple charges related to fraud and corruption. Among the allegations are that Solomon misused his authority to appoint part-time officers to full-time roles in violation of civil service laws. One of the hires, Fountain, is accused of lying about his qualifications and producing a forged certificate, with Solomon allegedly aware of the forgery. Solomon retired in 2021 amid controversy over high police salaries in Methuen. The indictment underscores the message that no one is above the law, according to Methuen’s mayor and police chief.
