Two Massachusetts state police troopers have been reprimanded for including comments about oral sex in the arrest report for a woman charged with OUI, a source said.
Allie Bibaud was arrested on Oct. 16 after allegedly swerving into a police construction detail on I-190 in Worcester, police said. Bibaud, the daughter of Dudley District Court Judge Timothy Bibaud, told officers she was having an argument with a man in her car, which caused her to swerve.
During her arrest, Bibaud allegedly made a comment referring to oral sex when she was asked about how she obtained the drugs she was accused of being on, police said.
Bibaud’s father allegedly asked friends in positions of authority to have the comment removed from her arrest report, the source said.
The report no longer includes the statement, and state police said it shouldn’t have been included in either case.
“The revision consisted only of removal of a sensationalistic and inflammatory directly-quoted statement by the defendant, which made no contribution to proving the elements of the crimes with which she was charged. Inclusion of an unnecessary sensationalistic statement does not meet the report-writing standards required by the department,” a statement from state police said.
Police told Boston 25 News they do not track revisions to reports, and the ultimate decision was made by the state police colonel.
Timothy Bibaud did not respond to requests for comments.
