Hits in court keep on coming for Massachusetts public officials.

A television station covering the story has reported that Judge Frison allegedly told police officers, “I’m a superior judge, I’m a superior judge. You can’t arrest me.  Let me go.”

Further, the AP has separately reported that it has confirmed that the purported victim is Judge Frison’s wife.

At Superior Court Judge Shannon Frison’s arraignment on Monday, Marlboro District Court Judge Michael Fabbri ordered Judge Frison to stay away from and have no contact with the purported victim, to possess no firearms or other dangerous weapons and to comply with any conditions that might be set by the state Department of Children and Families.

One report noted that the purported victim was holding a child when police found her outside of the site of the reported disturbance.

Frison is due back in court on October 10 for a pretrial conference.

In the meanwhile, Judge Frison has been placed on paid administrative leave.

Frison was appointed to the Worcester Superior Court in 2013 by then Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick

As Quincy Quarry’s ever growing legions of loyal readers will recall, this is far from the first or even but merely the second time that a Commonwealth of Massachusetts judge in Worcester County has ended up in trouble.

Accordingly, count on Quincy Quarry to continue to monitor judicial impropriety in both clearly problematic Worcester County as well as elsewhere in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
