I tried to find the article from the Eagle Tribune last week, but had no luck. Anyhow here's the scenario:

(Name Deleted) "Methuen Constable" has warrant for woman who neglected to bring her six year old daughter to court for ordered DNA testing (collection). Constable (Name deleted) then presumes to watch the child at her bus stop, wait until she gets on the bus (with other children) and then activates his blue lights and cuts in front of the bus. Having succeeded in bringing the busload of children to a halt, he then boards the bus, identifying himself as a "Methuen officer" and declares that he has a warrant for the child. Bus driver says, "get lost" (thank GOD), so CONSTABLE (Name deleted) goes back to the girl's house (leaving his vehicle blocking the path of the bus, brings mother back to bus where he gets mom to take girl off bus, the "gives them a ride" to court. Unfortunately, the bus driver did not call the real police.

ARRRGGGHHHHH!!!!!

CONSTABLE (name deleted), if you are lurking out there, I want you to be aware, very aware, that had I witnessed, or been called to that scene, I would not have hesitated to arrest you for attempted kidnapping. The warrant was for the mother, not the child. Further, you are supposed to SERVE warrants, not ARREST people, big difference.

What are Methuen police doing? Anybody know?

I am breathing normally again at this point.



Posted by: Delta784

Was it a warrant, or a care & protection order? Big difference.



Posted by: USMCTrooper

If you know the constable's name, find out which vehicle the lights were in and forward a complaint to the RMV (the School Bus company/Metheun PD should do this really) and they will order same removed and may revoke his registration. Furthermore, they could go to the appointing city or town and ask to see if constable are issued letters of appointment, outlining their actions. If they do, and he violated it, ask that his appointment be revoked.

Constable frightens children as he tries to remove girl from school bus for DNA test

By Jim Patten
Staff Writer

METHUEN — In a move the police chief called "completely out of line," a constable tried to remove a frightened 6-year-old girl from a school bus to take a DNA test without telling the mother or notifying the schools or police.

The constable, Giovanni Bloise, later said he didn't think it was a "big deal."

Bloise had a warrant commanding the mother to be in court after she failed to appear earlier on a paternity suit issue. But only the mother's name was on the warrant, police said.

The mother and daughter were eventually taken to Lawrence District Court where the girl had her mouth swabbed for a DNA test, and they were then brought to the Timony School, police said.

"There were many tense minutes that passed before we were able to determine what had occurred to this mother and child," police Chief Joseph E. Solomon said. "This incident unfortunately caused significant alarm for the bus driver, the students on the bus, school officials, the police and the family involved."

The bus, bound for Timony School, stopped in front of a home on Larchwood Road about 7:30 a.m. and the girl got on.

The constable was watching the bus stop and got on the bus even as the driver tried to stop him, Capt. Kris McCarthy said.

Bloise was in civilian clothing and was wearing a badge on a chain around his neck when he told the driver he needed to see if the girl was on the bus, McCarthy said.

When the driver asked if the girl was on the bus she came forward, but the driver refused to allow Bloise to talk to her.

Bloise then went to the mother's apartment nearby and she returned with him to the bus and removed her daughter.

Police only found out about the incident when Lt. Kevin Mahoney went to the Trombly Bus Co. on another matter and was told by company officials about an incident where "police officers" had removed a child from a school bus on Larchwood Road.

The driver had called in to her dispatcher to alert her to the incident, Mahoney said.

When Mahoney checked, he learned no Methuen officers had been involved.

Police immediately began trying to learn the identity of the man who boarded the bus.

Solomon criticized Bloise for not notifying the police before attempting to serve the warrant in the manner that he did.

"The manner in which the service of the warrant was handled was completely out of line with acceptable law enforcement principles and practices," Solomon said.

"Usually we let them know," Bloise said of police. But he said he was trying to convince the mother to go to court with the daughter for the DNA test.

"I don't consider that a physical arrest. I gave her a ride to court because she had no one to come get her. I didn't think of it as any big deal," Bloise said.

Police said Bloise could have gone to the girl's home or to the school without involving the school bus.

"This incident is of serious concern to me due to the way it was handled," Solomon said. "When the police became aware of the situation we could not identify any law enforcement agency that had taken the mother and 6-year-old child into custody.

"There was no need to expose the children on the bus to this type of unjustifiable behavior," Solomon said.

Through a secretary, Superintendent C. Phillip Littlefield said he was unaware of the incident.

Constables are appointed by the cities and towns they serve and for the most part are paid by lawyers to serve legal documents. They also have the power of arrest.

Bloise said most constables have some form of law enforcement training, and that in his case he has a bachelor's degree in criminal justice and has graduated from the police academy.

Solomon said his department is investigating to determine if any laws were broken.

Thanks for finding the article, Gil.
Crvtte65, thanks for removing his name, I have seen the errors of my ways.

Bachelor's degree? I wonder where from. I am guessing this guy has been slowly "increasing" (IE "overstepping") his constable duties bit by bit over the years, culminating in this fiasco. I found out from someone at the bus company that the driver believed the guy was a Methuen officer (he was in plain clothes with a badge around his neck) that is why he did not call 911. Actually, if the driver believed the guy was Methuen PD and he still wouldn't let him take the child off the bus, then hey...that took some backbone.

Is my outrage misguided here? Does anyone else see all the potential for serious harm with these guys? The funny thing is, they want to be cops soooooo bad, and yet when we tell them that they are "out of line" they get furious and defensive. Which signals more of a "danger will robinson" full red alert to me...

Anybody know of a constable who wears an official looking jacket with embroided patch and arm patches trolling the Marlboro (namely the Home Depot parking lot) area driving a SUV with Commercial Plates and Justice of the Peace Decals?

I was taking a cell phone call where I needed to write some info down. So I pulled into the Home Depot Lot and this freaky bastard came up to the passenger side of my car and and just stared at me. Then he walked away towards his whacker wagon.



Posted by: NH Cop

I’m currently investigating complaints from the Plaistow, Hampstead and Newton area of a dark blue police cruiser stopping folks after 6PM at night. He gives verbal warnings. He is in dungy looking clothing. He always turns and goes the other way after the stop. No one has seen the plate. He has a flashing blue strobe light on the dash board. One victim told me the badge is around his neck and he is very pleasant. Dark blue, push bar, tinted windows all around. I wish he would stop me. Any have any idea who this pleasant person could be. He’s not making revenue for the state.

Posted by: HousingCop

I may be wrong, but isn't there a newer (2004 or so) law out there that makes boarding a school bus without consent trespassing? At the very least, this freak should be stripped of his Constables license. He's obviously a bit overzealous to collect his fee. HC

The lone Constable screwed that up by getting on a bus. Let’s hope Methuen PD takes action on the Constable. I’ve worked with several MA Constables on cases. They never had a problem gaining information for me. Very professional folks.

Delta-"Thanks retard, for again trashing the already tarnished image of today's Constable"

Well, now there's a poignant, mature response. Assuming that I am the "retard" in question, I shall take the opportunity to enlighten you, sir, on few gentle facts. The word "retard" is exceptionally offensive, and should generally be avoided at all costs. I would prefer to be referred to as"asshole" henceforth. "Bitch" or "bastard" are also a tad more acceptable, particularly as they may be gender-specific, but until you have a degree in special education, Delta...lay off "retard". Further, it was a newsworthy story, and one I found worthy of delving into in "Masscops" as I was wondering what the PROFESSIONAL opinions of my brother/sister officers would be, now I know yours. I am unduly impressed.



Posted by: underdod47

In reference to tarnishing the image of constables I don't believe anything posted here can tarnish their image as well as the constables themselves are already doing. If my daughter was on that bus The Constable would find himself in for one giant lawsuit, in addition I would do all possible to get his badge pulled.
This was just another case of pushing the limits of authority, as I tell my co-workers, just because you can do it doesn't mean you have to. Most of the time patience is your best option.

And as far as the term "retard" goes. I dont belive any Special Eduction professionals would use that term to describe a patient or student in their care. The term has evolved in popular usage in the same fashion that idiot, lunatic, and madman has. I wouldnt take it personally...

I am a constable and mostly i use it because I work as a detail officer in my town and i must be a sworn constable.. I do not do much work serving papers or doing things of that sort but when i do I know what to do. I always notify the police dept when i am going and where i am going so they know. I always specify the word CONSTABLE when i am talking to people. I know they give anyone a lisence but use common sence.

I happened to be driving in the metrowest area,( couple of months ago) when I saw a green grand cherokee in front of me. Something on the rear tag caught my eye. He had the usual license plate, and then above it was a white plate, with the state badge on it, and around it said " commonwealth law enforcement officer" .. as I continued on my way, I saw this vehicle had enough blue line stickers to map out the "T" and in big letters on the side of the vehicle. CONSTABLE..



Posted by: stash9009

Hey all, I personally know the constable involved with this situation and although I do not agree with his actions, I have to stick up for his character. This constable is a great guy and a fine human being. I don't like seeing someone judged on just one particular action. I have worked directly with Bloise on many occasion and this one incident does not change my opinion of him. He has been a constable for over 20 years and this is the first time he has ever had a newspaper article written about him (are any of you surprised that it is a negative article?). What about all the good work he has done over his 2 decades of service to the Commonwealth? I find it disturbing that as members of law enforcement you were all quick to jump to the conclusion that this constable is cerifiable. You should all know that everyone points the finger at us when we make a mistake but no one is ever there to say "thank you" or "good job". Don't you think if this guy was such a "whacko", that he would have done something like this before? Don't you think he would have had his license revoked? Come on guys, really...I would put money that each and every one of you have made a mistake (that you thought was minor) that turned out to be a fairly big deal.

I don't mean to preach but I could not sit by and watch everyone trash a good person.

No. I think a few of us know some VERY "whacko" Constables that are still allowed to do whatever it is they do.

In fact, these guys were WACKO before they were hired and still are. It's not very regulated.

I know where i am they are not giving out Constable Application for now because of problems... Only very few people are allowed to get them and it has to be for a damn good reason

I pulled over a guy yesterday and while i was writing the citation, the passenger exits the vehicle and approaches me. I told him to get back in the car and he takes out some gold badge and flashes it at me. Guess who he was, yes a constable. After a little speech, he went back to the vehicle and written warning became a V.

Some people here thought it was silly but if that badge had the State Seal on it, I'd have seized it. Call the manufacturer ( most likely Blackinton ) and they will give you the distributor & purchase order/date. File the charge....who cares that the fine is nominal. Under Mass Appeals Court decision, AKA law...constables cannot use the state seal for anything.

You have A) seized the badge off the street B) made him think twice about flashing it ever again C) at least dried up one source to get a replacement badge and D) have said charge on his BOPP.

Positive results in Court are the proof....I have done it.

Do you know the name of that case offhand?

j809 - why bang the driver? Hand the operator his warning and take the constables information and report him to the state ethics commission.

Yes. The original appeals case is WEYMOUTH BOARD OF SELECTMEN v. RAMPONI (1989) The Secretary of State is the overseeing authority on the State seal. They CC'd to me a letter written to a (now former) constable regarding badge usage, patch usage, advertising, et al bearing the State Seal. I can fax it to you if you'd like. Its very detailed. The basis for their decision, I was informed, is the same basis the RMV applies in denying constables a blue light permit.



Posted by: quality617

I assume this applies to advertising as well?

Do a Google on "Massachusetts Constable"; several process servers have constable badges with the state seal as their opening display.

Also, the Ramponi in the decision, is he the same Ramponi who's the head of the Mass Bay Constable Association?

"graduated from the police academy"..... The real police academy or a special/auxillary/intermittent academy..? 2 VERY different things.. not to mention the experience difference beween a constable/deputy and a police officer...maybe all constables and deputies should be required to be retired full time police officers ... might put a stop to these shenanigans..

SO lets see should someone not be judged on the first rape? The first murder...do you get a pass on the first molestation of a child? Get freaking real the guy did something that was WAY WAY WAY out of line and WELL beyond anything he should have been doing.

Do you know when the RMV started denying blue light permits to constables? I stopped an unmarked Crown Vic with passenger plates that came back to a person, that had blue deck lights mounted. He did have a blue light permit issued by the RMV (it looked just like a registration), and he had constable identification, but this was probably 6-7 years ago.



Posted by: USMCTrooper

When they denied permits, I don't know. I would call and ask. I do know they have been denying them since 2002 for certain since thats when I was informed by the RMV....

As for the case, you will need more than just the Mass Appeals Decision. I have it, and subsequent decisions re: constables and the state seal. I've made copies with the personal information blocked out.

Very good, Vernon. That's an example of what a real police officer has to face, and as a real police officer I'm not going to second guess his judgement.

REAL Police know to never second guess another Officer because we have all been in bad situations and things are not always what they seem. Things are not what they "appear" as you put it.

But you wouldn't know that, you are a Constable.
