BRENTWOOD – A Rockingham Superior Court judge has once again rejected a bail hearing for a Massachusetts state trooper charged with allegedly head-butting and strangling his extramarital girlfriend.
Attorney Hank Brennan, representing Sgt. Bryan Erickson, filed a motion for a new bail hearing arguing circumstances have changed since his client was last denied bail.
In the motion, Brennan states the alleged victim, who had filed for a restraining order against Erickson, failed to appear at the May 4 hearing, and as a result the temporary order was dismissed by the Family Court. Given the alleged victim s deliberate absence from the restraining order hearing and her abandonment of the restraining order, the defendant raises the change in circumstance as a basis for the court to reconsider its bail order, Brennan wrote in the motion.
