ROCKLAND The following cases were closed in Knox County Unified Court from Aug. 10-22. Brittany Barton, 37, of Thomaston, operating after habitual offender revocation, prior, in Thomaston May 28, 2020, dismissed; operating while license suspended.
A Massachusetts state trooper accused of assaulting his girlfriend during a break-up was denied bail a second time.
A Superior Court judge in Rockingham County refused to reconsider his earlier decision earlier this week to keep Bryan Erickson, 38, locked up as he awaits trial.
Erickson’s attorney, Hank Brennan, had asked for bail to be reconsidered because of a pre-trial release report that stated Erickson could be released from jail and confined to his home where he lives with his wife and children.
“Given this new information for the Court’s consideration the defendant request that the Court adopt RCSPR report and accept the defendant’s argument that the strict conditions set forth by RCSPR are appropriate and would mitigate the safety risks of allowing the Defendant to be released,” Brennan wrote in his motion referring to the Rockingham County Supervised Pretrial release program.
