Crime Officer John Donnelly was placed on paid administrative leave last week pending an investigation into his conduct. A Woburn police officer accused of planning and participating in the deadly Charlottesville 'Unite the Right' rally has resigned from the police department. Patrol Officer John Donnelly was placed on paid administrative leave by Police Chief Robert Rufo last Thursday after the chief learned of allegations that Donnelly took an 'active' role in planning the 2017 white supremacist rally in Virginia.
