Beginning this weekend, the familiar New England Patriots flag will once again be flying high over Foxboro Common.

A 44-year-old Rhode Island man who police said had an extreme dislike for the New England Patriots has been charged with threatening to commit a shooting at Gillette Stadium before the team’s first regular-season game last Sunday night.

Having apparently concluded the grass isn’t necessarily greener on the other side of the proverbial fence, Town Manager William Keegan now says he hopes to spend the rest of his career in Foxboro.
