The charge stems from a June 17 incident where Cowles allegedly posed as a deputy United States revenge collector and demanded 49 dollars to settle a liquor-law case, with Conlon later soliciting 10 dollars for services. The complainant, James Lapori, recounts paying and receiving a receipt before backing out and alerting police. Cowles, a former deputy sheriff, had been elected constable after leaving the sheriff’s office. Conlon is described as an unsuccessful Plainville lawyer. An automobile collision on Fairfield Avenue damaged the rear wheels of a local business president’s car but caused no further harm.
