STOUGHTON, Mass. (MyFoxBoston.com) -- The Stoughton Housing Authority's executive director is due in court on Wednesday. He's charged with stealing prescription painkiller from an elderly woman.
Police say Gregory Bartlett took them from a woman in her 90's who lived in one of the authority's units. As executive director, Bartlett had access to all apartments and also had a list of residents' medications.
He was allegedly caught by the woman's son who became concerned after her mother's vicodin kept disappearing.
"You don't take advantage of the elderly like that," her son said.
Police say a released video shows Bartlett taking the pills from the woman's bedroom.
The woman's son tells FOX25 he became suspicious when the number of pills in the bottle didn't add up, so he set up a hidden camera.
The housing director plead not guilty back in January. He has been suspended without pay.
