Lt. Michael O'Hanley Investigated for Threatening Daughter-in-Law


GLOUCESTER, Mass.

City officials are investigating a questionable phone call made by one of their own officers.

Lieutenant Michael O'Hanley, a veteran officer of the Gloucester Police Department, allegedly was overheard on his cell phone making a threat against his daughter-in-law.

The call was accidentally transmitted over the officer's police radio while he was on duty.

"She's an [expletive]...and when this is all over, I will call her and have several words with her and tell her exactly what I think of her," O'Hanley was overheard saying.

At one point the veteran officer is heard making what sounds like a threat.

"I'm going to hire Bobby Mason to go over there and bust all the windows," O'Hanley said.

An outside law enforcement group has launched an investigation and the department promises that swift disciplinary action will be taken if necessary.

"This was an emotional time during a personal situation in an officer's family," a spokesman for the department said.

O'Hanley is reportedly on vacation.
