BELCHERTOWN
Police chief appeared drunk, but not arrested BELCHERTOWN, Mass. (AP) — A western Massachusetts police chief is facing scrutiny after it was disclosed that he appeared to be drunk when he was pulled over for driving erratically in February, but was not cited or arrested. Granby police on Wednesday released a report that indicated Belchertown Chief Francis Fox was pulled over in Granby on Feb. 1. According to the report, the officer who pulled over Fox felt he was put in a difficult situation and Fox asked him "if he knew who I was." The report says Fox was unsteady on his feet and almost fell over when he got out of his vehicle. His breath smelled of alcohol and his eyes were bloodshot. Fox was driven home by the Granby officer. Fox told The Republican newspaper that he had no comment
New chairman confirmed for Mass. Parole Board BOSTON (AP) — The state has a new parole board chairman. The Governor's Council on Wednesday confirmed Paul Treseler to the post. Treseler — who served for nearly two decades as a prosecutor in the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office — was Gov. Charlie Baker's pick to serve as head of the Massachusetts Parole Board. The board grants parole and supervises parolees. It also makes recommendations on granting pardons and commutations. Among those seeking a pardon from the state is actor Mark Wahlberg who committed violent assaults as a teen in Boston in 1988 when he hit a man in the head with a wooden stick while trying to steal alcohol from a convenience store and punched another man in the face. He was sentenced to three months in jail and served about 45 days.
