Ex-Wendell cop claims he was let go because he is white, files complaint with state Wendell’s old Town Hall and Police Station. STAFF FILE PHOTO/PAUL FRANZ Modified: 5/2/2021 1:36:40 PM WENDELL — A former police officer has filed a discrimination complaint against the town, claiming he was let go because he is white — an assertion the town’s Selectboard chair called “utterly baseless.” Christopher Maselli worked for the Wendell Police Department until the town opted to not reappoint him to his position when the current fiscal year began on July 1. He filed his complaint through the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination, a civil rights agency that was founded in 1946 to enforce the state’s anti-discrimination laws, investigate complaints of discrimination as a neutral entity, prosecute cases and offer preventative training.
