Former Stoughton Housing Authority Chief Violates Probation

The former executive director of the Stoughton Housing Authority was back in court this week after violating the terms of his probation.

On May 4, Bartlett tested positive for opiates and cocaine during a drug test. During a hearing in Norfolk Superior Court in Dedham, Bartlett was ordered to seek a substance abuse evaluation and go to three narcotics anonymous or alcoholics anonymous meetings a week according to Norfolk D.A. spokesman David Traub.

Earlier this year, Bartlett was arrested after allegedly stealing medication from an elderly resident of the housing authority. He is currently suspended without pay.

He is due back in court on May 26 for a non-evidentiary motion hearing.
