Former Newton Police Chief Cummings Could Receive $129K Pension
Cummings was fired last month after the city ruled his behavior toward another department employee was "unbecoming a police officer."
Former Newton Police Chief Matthew Cummings, who was fired last month, could receive a pension amount higher than all other current retired employees on Newton's books.
The pension, totaling $129,000, would be the largest yearly pension amount in the city's system, the Boston Globe reported Thursday.
The former chief applied for his retirement last week, the Globe reported.
