The Medford police officer who was caught on camera threatening a driver is set to have a disciplinary hearing, according to a press release from the Medford mayor’s office.

Stephen LeBert was placed on administrative leave in July after a dash cam caught him threatening to “blow a hole through [the] f—— head’’ of a driver he pulled over while off duty. The hearing will determine whether LeBert, a 31-year veteran of the department, will be discharged, removed, or suspended from the police force, according to the release.

The Medford Police Department’s Internal Affairs Division began an investigation of the confrontation when LeBert was placed on leave. The investigation concluded Wednesday, and Medford Mayor Michael McGlynn then ordered the hearing to be scheduled.


LeBert’s personnel file revealed additional complaints about his conduct over the past few years. Another video from 2012 showed LeBert telling a man that he should take his brother “up on the railroad tracks and tell him to lay down.’’ Medford Police Chief Leo Sacco said that LeBert was counseled on how to “act accordingly’’ following that incident.

The date of the hearing has yet to be determined, but could take place as soon as the middle of October, according to the release.

McGlynn and Sacco did not respond to requests for comment.
