PLYMOUTH, Massachusetts -- A 62-year-old state police sergeant was relieved of duty after allegedly attacking an off-duty police officer at a Plymouth CVS, an official said.

Sgt. Brian Duffy of Kingston was arraigned yesterday in Plymouth County District Court on charges of assault and battery on a person over 60 and disturbing the peace. Duffy, who is assigned to Troop F, was relieved of duty immediately following his arrest Tuesday, state police spokesman David Procopio said.

Plymouth cops responding to a reported fight at the Pilgrim Hill Road CVS were met by a 64-year-old off-duty Carver police officer, who said Duffy pushed him over during a heated dispute over his place in the checkout line, according to court documents. Witnesses backed up the man’s account, according to police.

Duffy was ordered released on his own recognizance. Procopio said there will be a duty status hearing “in the near future” to determine his status with the department.

Wasn't there a TV series about an F Troop many years ago? Similar bunch of people maybe?
