Howie Carr: How's indictment, ex-Methuen Police 'Don' Joe Solomon?
Don Solomon was paid $326,272 a year as chief. Plus he got to run a business on the side — “security.” He didn’t have one police car, but two. The second was used by Chief Solomon to smoke cigars in. You can’t be a real organized-crime don unless you smoke cigars.
