Fraser’s girlfriend called the incident a misunderstanding and said there was no assault.
HAVERHILL – A Lawrence police officer was found guilty Wednesday of assaulting his former girlfriend during a dispute in which an officer from another department used a Taser on him.
Daron Fraser was sentenced to one year of probation following his conviction in Haverhill District Court on Wednesday.
Police Chief John Romero told The Eagle-Tribune he will recommend that Fraser be fired.
The 39-year-old Fraser, of Raymond, N.H., was arrested after a July off-duty altercation with the girlfriend. An off-duty officer from the Kingston, N.H., department intervened and used a Taser issued by his employer on Fraser.
The other officer was initially charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, but the charge was eventually dropped.
Fraser’s girlfriend called the incident a misunderstanding and said there was no assault.
